Basti Toilet

A public toilet in Uttar Pradesh has hit headlines for its strange model that has two toilet seats in one enclosure, and that too without a partition.

It could be the Prashant Kishor effect, an extension of his makeover plan as part of her "Didi Ke Bolo", or a deliberate change in style. But on Monday, Mamata Banerjee did something she had not in the last few years. She dropped by a slum in Howrah, walked into dingy homes and chatted with residents about the problems they faced.

In order to promote health and hygiene and raise awareness about good hygiene habits such as washing hands five times a day, using a toilet for defecation and adopting safe drinking water practices, a campaign has been launched recently.
