The minister’s order comes after some media reports highlighted littering in a newly introduced Vande Bharat Train by passengers.
He also put out a video of the new practice being followed in a Vande Bharat coach where an IRCTC staffer is seen moving around with a big bag for passengers to put the litter.
Mr Vaishnaw said in a tweet that the cleaning system has been changed in Vande Bharat trains and sought cooperation from people as well to keep trains clean.
“Cleaning system changed for #VandeBharat trains. Your cooperation expected,” the minister tweeted.
