  • | Tuesday | 19th June, 2018

Railway stations across the country will soon have bottle-crushing machines, and the Railways is formulating a new policy for the machines. Railway Board chairman Ashwini Lohani told reporters on Monday, “The board will soon come out with a policy for bottle-crushing machines, similar to the one we had for water ATMs.” He was in the city to conduct a series of review meetings. The machines are key to ensure the State’s plastic ban is implemented on railway stations. Western Railway (WR) had called for tenders for the same but received no bids, while Central Railway officials said they were waiting for a directive from the board. Mr. Lohani held meetings with senior WR, CR and Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation officers and reviewed ongoing projects.
