Waltair Division Showcases 'Best From Waste' Initiatives
The East Coast Railway's Waltair Division is making art out of trash!
They are using old parts from locomotives, like valves and gears, to create cool sculptures.
They made a pair of peacocks and a model of the 'Make in India Lion'.
This is part of a plan called 'Swachh Bharat' to keep things clean and reuse materials.
They want to show that they care about the environment and use their resources well.
The idea is to teach people that trash can be turned into art and remind everyone to recycle.
East Coast Railway, Waltair Division, initiated 'best from waste' project.
The project is part of the Swachh Bharat – Swachh Rail Mission.
Electric loco shed in Visakhapatnam transformed scrap locomotive materials into art.
Installations include peacocks and a 'Make in India Lion' model.
The initiatives promote sustainability, reuse, and beautification of railway premises.
