Cities are crowded with Malls, Bus stands, Schools, Colleges, Cinemas, pan shops etc. However, toilet facilities are hardly found and only in branded or big malls. Cleanliness regarding toilets in cities can be achieved by introducing rule that every commercial object exceeding defined area in sft should contain toilet. Open drainage systems should be closed to avoid public littering. Existing toilets should be well maintained for public to use effectively.

I feel that for every 2 kms one public toilet should be opened .A guard should be appointed who would be responsible for the maintenance of the toilet and a minimal rupees 2 should be charged for using the toilet.He should be provided with all the modern equipments to clean the toilet..I know it's already there at many places but there is no harm in re-iterating it :)
