The Western Railways unveiled a new and novel dust collection system for the roof mounted air handling units (AHU) on its local trains. The measure to develop this new dust collection system comes on the heels of the deficiencies noted in the previous mechanism whereby vacuum cleaners were being used to suck the grime and dust particles from the AHUs.
An official while speaking on the attributes of the new cleaning system stated, “the dust collection system will clean the AHU of dust and minute particles in a thorough manner which will increase its efficiency. More fresh air will be available inside coaches for the comfort of passengers, especially considering the fact that local trains are heavily crowded at most times of the day”.
In addition to helping passengers enjoy cleaner air in the coaches, the new system is also expected to reduce the time for cleaning and aid in controlling environmental pollution. The system is being inaugurated by the Western Railways as the organisation observes the Swacchata Hi Seva campaign from 15 September to 2 October.
