The construction of public toilets in China can still meet the daily needs of the public. If you can't find them, you can also go to the Golden Arch. ...
In contrast, the magical Sam in our neighboring country is more "open" on this issue-a few years ago, a statistical data showed that more than half of Indian families did not have toilets, and people's feces were discharged in every corner of public places, leading to the spread of diseases and thousands of deaths. According to statistics, the economic loss caused by the lack of public health facilities in India is as high as hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
In fact, a long time ago, even when humans just learned to walk upright, the behavior of "defecating everywhere" was very common, but at that time there were few people on the earth, so it would not cause diseases. But with the explosive growth of population in recent years, the situation is different. India, in particular, has a population of over one billion. ...
In 20 12, Indian Minister of Drinking Water and Environmental Sanitation Ramesh "exposed his dirty linen", saying that India's defecation situation accounts for 60% of the world, and the Indian railway system has actually become "the largest open-air toilet in the world".
The number of passengers transported by the Indian railway system every day is-1 1 10,000.
So Ramesh put forward a grand plan: to build 654.38 million+ecological toilets in rural India in two years, and to completely improve the sanitation situation in India in ten years.
According to Sam's consistent practice, after two years, the plan must not be completed as scheduled. But that year, a great event happened in India-Modi came to power!
Modi's campaign slogan said that "toilets are more valued than temples". After he took office, he implemented the "100-day New Deal", one of which was to build 5.3 million toilets nationwide.
But the toilet is easier said than done. After the goal of making every household have a toilet was shouted, the progress was slow. ...
The key point is that many Indians, even rich people, don't want to go to the toilet in their own homes, but go outdoors to go to the toilet. They think it's a sign of being close to nature. Another reason is that they think the toilet is not clean, which is a symbol of bad luck. ...
Once the concept is formed, it is difficult to change, especially after thousands of years of "free flight", it is even more difficult for Indians to suddenly let them go to the toilet.
In order to "drive people into the toilet", the Indian government has not spent less time and has repeatedly made strange moves. For example, organize patrols and patrol the road with sprinklers. Once someone is found urinating anywhere, they will attack him with a "water cannon" and let him "get soaked".
Other places organize civil servants and volunteers to go deep into the fields. Once someone is caught urinating outdoors, they will be humiliated. For example, they will knock off the toilet paper in their hands, then put a rose in their hands, take a photo with a click and send it to the TV station for exposure. ...
Even in September this year, on Modi's birthday, the government of Madhya Pradesh in India organized an activity to let teachers in this area participate in voluntary labor and dig toilets for nearby villages to celebrate Modi's birthday. ...
But, is it useful? Modi tried his best to sell toilets, but he couldn't stand the "powerlessness" of his teammates.
On the last World Toilet Day, Modi posted a video of repairing toilets on his Twitter, once again emphasizing the importance of ending "open defecation".
But on the same day, Sind, Minister of Water Resources of Maharashtra, India, was photographed urinating everywhere. Once the video was uploaded to the Internet, it was much hotter than Modi's "Repair the Toilet" video. ...
Sinde also plausibly said that he had a fever in order to inspect various places, and he couldn't find a toilet on the roadside, so he had to solve it on the spot. He also said, "If you want to go to the toilet, you can go to the toilet."
Sindh is not the first senior Indian official to do so. Before him, on another occasion, Indian Agriculture Minister Singh was photographed urinating everywhere on his way to inspect his work. At that time, behind Singh, two armed soldiers "stood guard" for him. ...
