But people must realise that this is being done for restoring cleaniless in the city and is not a channel for earning money.

Secondly, have clean private toilets people can use by paying a nominal fee so that they don't urinate in public. Paying people to use public toilets is a stupid idea. That means the toilets are in bad condition and that you would have to pay someone to actually use it!
