I really would like to take an autorickshaw during the Games just to check if all the training worked. And if there’s no mode of transport to get you to the loo, maybe we can have training for the tourists about being one with nature. It could be sold as part of the unique experience in India.

would privatization of public loos help? would a fine for every pee or spit help? would employing cleaners for minimum wages for loos help? would it help if every gas station is mandated to have a public loo? would it help if a cop in that area is fined if he ignored spitters and pee-ers (sorry, for lack of a better word). We got to ask ourselves… What makes these same chaps refrain from doing all this and more in other countries?
Fear of the LAW perhaps?

Public toilets need to work on commercial revenue model of outdoor media + retail netwrok point . There is no doubt about the fact that social stigma of charity needs to be separated from public toilets rather ,it must be seen as most profitable business..JD Bhardwaj

Graffiti with mild rebukes, and images of Gods have been used invariably over the years to dissuade men in India from peeing in public.

But the macho efforts to sneak a way around a bush or in front of a wall far outwits their civic sense and fear of divine retribution.

Loo-maps can only temporarily re-direct the reeking smell emanating from gallons of nitrogen-rich waste on kerbside and elsewhere.

But, after CWG, the nature-admiring men, in their effort to upkeep their manly heroics will yet again open their fly in public.

Forget Delhi, any Indian city would find it tough to undergo such a makeover in six months! These things take years and years of conditioning, and in a country where spitting on the road and breaking queues is almost considered a birthright, this seems impossible! the tourists will just have to get used to the Indian way of life for those few days.
