Lucknow :

Both Luckow and Varanasi stations are on the priority list list of the ministry of railways, for obvious reasons. Northern Railway has not only sent a specially designed machine to clean the tracks at Lucknow and Varanasi stations, it has even made it clear that the machine has been “specially” sent for the two stations of Uttar Pradesh, as Lucknow is the constituency of Union home minister Rajnath Singh and Varanasi of PM Narendra Modi.

The dirty railway tracks at stations all over India are an eyesore. The machine that works using advanced technology and designed by Loco shed, Shakurbasti, New Delhi has been sent by GM, NR, Pradip Kumar to Lucknow division.The machine would function like a vacuum cleaner. Initially, it would be used to clean only the outer areas of the station.
