garbage around railway track in india

there should be dustbin between every 10 seats/ every compartment

I have noticed from the window of the train that the both side of track there was some garbage of water bottle, food packets and all. If you observe closely you will not be able to find any place where no garbage near the track. also in most trains when people buy and eat some food packets they dont go to dustbin in the coach but they will throw it outside of window or they will throw it below the seat. So if there is a dustbin nearby like every compartment or every 10 seats. such as space below the windows and between the seats, then passengers can throw garbage in them.

Also If you throw outside in the city there is a posibility that it will be cleaned. But what about the area outside the city or another place?

The Railways appeals to the passengers to keep the train coaches clean and use dustbins instead of throwing waste out of the windows. But the passengers travelling in local trains are asking where are the dustbins?

While it is feasible for the passengers travelling in first, second, third and sleeper class compartments to go to the washroom area and throw waste in the dustbin kept there. The same is not feasible in a jam-packed local train compartments.

In AC and sleeper coaches, pouches are put up right behind the seats. These pouches which are meant for keeping water bottles are also being used by passengers to put waste.

But there are no pouches in local train compartments. To maintain cleanliness, the railways need to provide such pouches or dustbins in local train compartments too.

What the passengers say on the issue?

“As I don’t want to litter waste here and there I collect waste in a plastic bag and bring back home. In a local train, the dustbins are installed only in the washroom area. But the compartments are always jam-packed and it is not possible to go till there throw the waste,” said Gopal (31) a daily commuter.

"It would be good if the railways put up pouches in local trains too, because we cannot expect everyone to be equally civic minded and collect the waste rather than littering it," asserted Ashish, (26), a resident of Ara who commutes to Patna everyday.


Now you will say this passengers are giving excuses. But why railway gives chance to give excuse? 
In this answer railway may also give excuse, like dustbin will not help people need to change their mindset!! Then that is also right! we all know the right things but no one want to do action. everyone will give excuses and will talk about it and then forget it. Same as currently I am doing (writing here and then forget).
