Southern Railway carried out the intensive cleanliness drive at all the 727 railway stations covering all the six divisions such as Chennai, Tiruchchirappalli, Salem, Madurai, Palakkad and Thiruvananthapuram. Workshops and field units also conducted the Cleanliness campaign. Volunteers, NGOs, School and College Students, Scouts and guides enthusiastically participated in the cleanliness drives along with railway employees and conservancy staff. Vulnerable areas along the tracks and station approaches were identified and intensive cleanliness campaigns were held. Rail passengers and people living near the tracks were sensitized not to dump garbage on tracks. In order to effectively dispose of the trash collected, particularly plastic, the conservancy staff at railway stations were counseled. At railway stations, special emphasis was accorded for mechanized cleaning. As part of Special Campaign 2.0, 30 VIP reference cases were replied and 40 public grievances were resolved in Southern Railway. All the Officers and Staff of Southern Railway actively participated in the drive in bringing perceptible changes in the cleanliness levels of railway stations and tracks.
