Station cleaning: Railway Board asks DRMs to identify 10 areas which need special attention
The station cleaning work is being monitored on a day-to-day basis through the Board's 'Swachh Station' WhatsApp group.
'Identification of 10 such areas and improvement thereafter will be a dynamic process. New such areas will need to be identified at a suitable periodicity, say 7-10 days for further attention. Evidence (picture/video) of these improvements must be uploaded by the concerned station/division to the respective user group on the station cleaning daily, without fail, for appreciation by all concerned,' said the board.
Further, a daily review, starting from July 1, 2025 with 1 or 2 shortlisted divisions on a randomised basis, will be conducted by the Railway Board, preferably on a daily basis in the afternoon around 4pm.
'Announcement with respect to the station/division under review on any given day will be made on the community by 1500 hrs of that day,' said the board.
In a similar step, the Railways revamped its more than two decades old clean train station (CTS) scheme last month to improve the cleaning process of trains with minimal disruption to operations.
The CTS was launched by the Ministry of Railways in October 2002 to meet the demand for cleaner train coaches and toilets. It entails a mechanised en route cleaning of trains during halts at identified stations on major trunk routes.
Its revamped version will be implemented at 20 designated locations for 683 trains.

Noting that railway station cleanliness is paramount to sustained passenger satisfaction, the Railway Board has issued an order to all Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs), asking them to identify 10 distinct areas which need directed attention in cleaning works at each station. The station cleaning work is being monitored on a day-to-day basis through the Board's 'Swachh Station' WhatsApp group. 'Identification of 10 such areas and improvement thereafter will be a dynamic process. New such areas will need to be identified at a suitable periodicity, say 7-10 days for further attention.

CBSE to begin Class 10, 12 practical exams for compartment students from July 10; check details here
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued detailed guidelines for conducting practical examinations for Class 10 and 12 compartment candidates. These practical exams will be held alongside the Supplementary Examinations 2025 and are scheduled between July 10 and July 15. This special round of practical exams applies only to students placed in specific categories as per their main exam results. CBSE has laid out clear instructions regarding eligibility, venues, and the evaluation process. Who needs to appear for the CBSE practical exams ? For Class 12 students: Candidates marked under the 'Repeat in Practical' (RP) category are required to take the practical exam only. Their theory marks from the main board exams will remain unchanged and will be carried forward to their final result. For Class 10 students: Those falling under the 'Repeat in Theory and Practical Both' (RB) category must appear for both theory and practical exams during this supplementary session. Additionally, if any student was marked absent for internal assessment during the main board exams, they will be awarded pro-rata internal marks based on their performance in the theory paper of the supplementary exam. It is important to note that no new internal assessment will be conducted for such candidates. Where will the CBSE practical exams be conducted ? The venue of the practical exams will depend on the nature of the candidate: • For regular students, practical exams will be conducted at their own schools, following standard procedures. • For private candidates, the practicals will be held at the centres designated for their theory examinations. In cases where these centres do not have the necessary facilities to conduct practical exams, the respective CBSE Regional Office will assign an alternative venue. Practical exam marks to be uploaded on the same day CBSE has mandated that all marks awarded during the practical exams must be uploaded to the Board's portal on the same day the exam is conducted. Once entered, these marks will be considered final and cannot be altered and no requests for corrections or changes will be entertained. Important: To ensure a smooth process, students must report to their schools or allotted centres by July 7, carrying a printed copy of their result and admit card. The schools will notify students about the exact date and time of their practical exams and all students are expected to follow this schedule strictly.
