Look left: many public toilets, although 2-3 are marked inside the malls 🙃 Look right: hardly any! Another fact: many cleaning staff sleep, cook, eat in the toilet. Was auditing public toilets as part of #Data4Dignity Do you want to audit: https://t.co/yjOT3IC2Bq

Misaram ji signifies what dignity of labor is! He tells me "I will work & earn my money, don't want to be dependent on others". These are the champions keeping the PUBLIC TOILETS in our cities clean. Thank you Shubhra International for ensuring he gets his salary on time.

Miller's road- Indira Canteen to Udaya TV junction. 80 metres - Footpath- can accommodate 6 people to walk 🚶♀️ in one go. Few obstacles- yes, but overall ✅ Ask: please prioritize pedestrians & public transport.

In the same breath, states need to empower local govts as well. Else all this charade over state rights mean nothing if you folks don't wanna share power with local leaders and citizens.
Chennai, Tamil Nadu: We are in a situation where we have to fight with the Union Government for every fund. How long must we remain in the position where they give, and we receive? The first part of the report of the High-Level Committee constituted to study Centre–State

If Swachhata is to be living reality across cities, we can't be cutting budgets. Urban India needs better toilet infra + maintenance budget + accessibility + safety + innovation + sanitation workers dignity We can't aspire to Viksit if our basic 5 times a day activity is ignored

Every other Sunday, Bengaluru bus reads takes you on a bus + reading journey around the city. This was the 4th chapter, where we collectively took a total of 4 buses Banashankari, Silkboard, Iblur & Hebbal! We even had first time city bus users who loved the ride!
