Seema flagged off a track-less toy train. Travancore Titanium Products Ltd. sponsored around 2,000 steel plates for the street vendors who usually serve food in disposable plates, which result in large amounts of waste. The street vendors’ union affiliated to the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) sponsored waste bins.
