Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India on waste management in Indian railways

The Comptroller and Auditor General has criticised the railways over its waste management system in almost all sectors from stations, coaching depots, maintenance and production units as well as bio-medical waste generated in its hospitals. The CAG report on Waste Management in Indian Railways was presented in Parliament on 08 August, 2022. It also pointed out that there is no single body or agency in the Indian Railways solely responsible for handling waste management-related issues, adding that there is no system of dedicated fund allocation specifically for waste management.
