Passengers were counselled to give up the habit of tobacco consumption and many of them in a symbolic gesture gave up / surrendered the tobacco packets they were carrying in trash bins kept for the purpose.
A signature campaign was organized at Reay Road station on 30th and 31st May 2026, under the guidance of the Station Manager and his team of dedicated staff where passengers were encouraged to pledge against tobacco use. This initiative received an overwhelming response from commuters, who actively participated and extended support to the cause.
Central Railway remains committed to promoting health and well-being among passengers and appeals to all rail users to avoid consumption of tobacco and tobacco-related products at railway stations and in trains, in line with Indian Railways’ efforts to ensure a clean and healthy travel environment.
