MUMBAI: Rajya Sabha MP Milind Deora on Monday suggested that the BMC consider naming, shaming and fining habitual public urinators, spitters, litterers and blacklisted contractors, while simultaneously ensuring the city has clean, safe and accessible public toilets.In a post on X, Deora referred to an initiative by the Tinsukia Municipality in Assam, which displays images of people caught urinating in public on LED screens. He posted a video of it on his social media handle too. “Tinsukia Municipality in Assam is displaying images of people caught urinating in public on LED screens. Should @mybmc also consider naming, shaming & fining habitual public urinators, spitters, litterers & blacklisted contractors? At the same time, clean, safe & accessible public toilets must be available across #Mumbai,” he wrote.The post drew a flurry of reactions, including several tongue-in-cheek responses. “We will fall short of LED screens,” one user remarked. Another commented, “This is the only way to stop people. But the government also needs to build enough toilets so that people can easily find and access them.”
