The city of Ahmedabad, India is encouraging people to use public toilets rather than relieve themselves in the open. They will receive 1 rupee (1/5th of a penny) each time they use the toilet.
Pravin Patel, AMC standing committee chairman, said repeat public urinators and defecators will be “identified and encouraged” to use the toilets.
“The idea behind this project is to prevent open defecation in parts of the city where people, despite having public toilets, defecate in the open,” Patel said.
