They removed over 4,000 kilograms of waste and almost 9 kilometres of unwanted plants beside tracks.
Teams also sorted rubbish at many stations and railway colonies.
Inspectors checked food stalls and kitchens on trains.
They tested water and collected food and milk samples to check their quality.
At Borivali station, about 50 students, teachers and club members helped clean up.
They also performed a short play to teach people about hygiene and putting rubbish in the right place.
