TRICHY: Self-help group women maintaining public and community toilets in Trichy city distributed awareness pamphlets and toffees to users on Thursday to mark the World Toilet Day.
The women appealed to locals to refrain from defecating in public places. They sensitised the visitors on the efforts carried out on a daily basis to keep the public sanitary complexes clean.
“We drew kolams (rangolis) at the sanitary complexes to promote awareness on the World Toilet Day. Users were told to properly handle the properties of sanitary complexes. Due to Covid-19, the World Toilet Day was celebrated in a low key manner,” a sanitary official with Trichy Corporation said.
