people defecate in theopen for want of a better option.also we need to know that defecating the open is free. first and foremost we must create toilets in enough numbers to be used in morning so that slumdwellers can attend to their business in timely manner. These toilettes should be free to start with. After these free toilets are made available these should be advertised and a low 4 feet compound to be created along the railway lines separating it from the slum. In next phase punutive action should be implemented for people found trespassing on the wrong side of the fence. And in last phase the toilets should be made pay and use. more

The compound wall of our house was used as a urinal for many months. My husband put an electric wire into the wall. The person who urinated would get a mild electric shock in a very sensitive area! The nuisance stopped in two days. more

A real hero. Have you ever saved hundreds of lives? A poor man about to $h!t in the open did it. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Broken-railway-track-spotted-in-time/articleshow/49876613.cms Any award/reward for him from the government/public ? Please give him one, he will not return it crying "intolerance". You give it to fake heroes, they would turn around and bite you someday. more
