Few ladies toilets in India

Have you ever wondered why there are few ladies toilets in India? Even the cities have less facilities for women to answer the call of nature in slum area. It can be very embarrassing and humiliating. The fault lies with the authorities who are taking a casual attitude to construction or maintaining of public toilets for ladies. Also most women generally prefer to restrain themselves from using public loos and relieve themselves in the comforts of their homes rather than use a public facility, unless it is urgent. The civic authorities also take this perspective and have adopted a casual, lethargic attitude to constructing public ladies toilets. Also women hesitate using them because the condition of the public loos in India, even the metros; are in a dismal, unhygienic state. Plainly said, since users are less, even the authorities are maintain a casual stand and do not do much to maintain the condition of these loos. Holding back on the call of nature can be detrimental to the health if the journey is long and there is not public facility in the vicinity In fact, Shahrukh Khan, the popular Bollywood actor has publicly stated that he would like to create a lot of hygienic public toilets for women as one of his future endeavors.
