Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu launched an online clean my coach service that allows travellers to get their compartments cleaned by sending an SMS or by using an app or a designated website.
How it works
As per the scheme, for any cleaning requirement in the coach, passengers have to send an SMS on a mobile number 58888.
Alternatively, passengers can use the android app or Web page www.cleanmycoach.com for logging the request.
Following this, a passenger’s request is immediately acknowledged via SMS on mobile phone along with a code.
Comment
This service empowers the citizen to get an important service on board and is in line with the objectives of the ‘Digital India’ programme.
Mr. Prabhu had announced this scheme in the rail budget for the next fiscal.
