Chennai Launches 'Pee Point Mapping' Initiative to Curb Open Defecation
Chennai is trying to make the city cleaner by asking people to help find where people are openly urinating.
They launched an online tool called 'Pee Point Mapping' where people can point out these spots.
This helps the city know where the problems are and find solutions like building more public toilets.
The goal is to make everyone more aware of keeping the city clean, not just by making new rules, but by addressing the reasons why people urinate in public.
This is part of a bigger project to improve sanitation and hygiene in Chennai.
The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) launched a 'Pee Point Mapping' initiative.
The initiative allows citizens to report open defecation spots via an online portal.
The portal is available until July 5, 2025.
Data collected will inform solutions like public toilet installations.
The initiative is part of a larger International Toilet Festival 3.0.
