Tea will be sold in environment-friendly ‘kulhads’ (earthen cups) in place of plastic cups at all railway stations in the country, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said on Sunday.
Speaking at an event organised at Dhigawara Railway Station in Rajasthan’s Alwar district, Goyal said, the initiative will be the contribution of Indian Railways towards a plastic-free India and lakhs of people can avail employment through its production.
“Tea is given in ‘Kulhad’ at nearly 400 railway stations across the country today, and in future, it is our planning that tea will be sold only in ‘Kulhads’ at all railway stations in the country,” Goyal was qouted as saying by PTI.
“This will be the contribution of Railways towards plastic-free India,” he added.
