Volunteers in Rajasthan's Jhunjhunu district armed with drums and whistles are to lead a crackdown on going to the toilet in public under a new scheme, a report said Monday.
"We are constructing public toilets... and people will be encouraged to use them," Ramniwas Jat, head of the state's Jhunjhunu district council, told an English daily newspaper.
"We want to raise awareness against the practice of urinating in public, which gave birth to the idea of beating drums and blowing whistles."
The newspaper said that volunteers, who will be paid a small wage, would embarrass people caught urinating or defecating by standing behind them and letting loose a barrage of noise.
Guilty parties would also have their names read out on public address systems. Full story...
