What An Idea Sirjee! Video Shows Space Between Mumbai Railway Tracks Used For Gardening & Farming

If you have ever been on a train journey in India, you may have noticed how the space between railway tracks usually remains dirty. They are often filled with garbage, which obviously does not look good. But in a recent X post, a user highlighted something very different. Space between the railway tracks in Mumbai is now being used for gardening and farming. And yes, it definitely left us impressed!

Mumbai Railway Tracks Are Being Used For Farming 

Mumbai shows how it’s done 👏

When tracks at most major stations are full of trash, the space between the tracks in Mumbai is being used for gardening and farming. This not only adds to the beauty but also helps in keeping the environment clean.

An X user, @trainwalebhaiya, posted a video showing the space between railway tracks in Mumbai being used for gardening and farming. The user mentioned that while tracks at most stations are filled with trash, the ones in Mumbai are not only being utilised but also “add to the beauty” and help keep the environment clean. The user also appreciated Central Railways and said that all railway zones should follow this idea.

Honestly, we are impressed too. Who would have thought that the space we often see could be put to such good use? In many cities, these empty spaces are usually riddled with garbage. In the video, you can clearly see patches filled with green leafy vegetables. Some crops have grown well, while others are still in their early stages. The user also wrote, “Mumbai shows how it’s done.”

Netizens React To The Video

Just like us, netizens were impressed too. One user wrote, “Welcome to Mumbai,” while another commented, “Amazing.” One user also pointed out that this may not be possible at all railway stations, as many people still lack civic sense and often throw trash outside running trains.

Another X user called the initiative “damn cool” and wrote that, “Western line should also adopt this” One more user suggested another idea and wrote, “A very good initiative, a suggestion that all such land may be given to poor people on like ₹1 annual lease, to generate employment and keep the land safe & clean.”

However, while many users appreciated the move, some also raised concerns. A few mentioned that the water used for farming coriander and other leafy vegetables may not be clean and could be polluted with waste, which can be unhealthy.

Though the idea is great, we hope clean water is being used to grow these green leafy vegetables. What do you think of these makeshift farms on Mumbai railway tracks? Do share your thoughts with us!
