District Collector N. Prasanth has requested netizens of the city to post on his official Facebook page pictures of those who urinate in public places so that action can be taken against them. In a satiric photo contest named ‘Trimoothri,’ the Collector promises prizes for those who capture the ‘best’ three photographs.
Mr. Prasanth’s move was prompted by long hours of toil local people had
to put in, with the help of the Fire and Rescue Services, to clean the
soiled mofussil bus stand premises in the city.
As part of conducting open discussions and getting people’s feedback on
the civic issue, the Collector has posted his views and comments on the
page, urging citizens to express their opinions. He says that open
urination is unacceptable in a civilised society and criticises men
particularly since they are the ‘culprits’ mostly.
