In Bhopal, a public urinal at Vidyasagar T-junction in Awadhpuri has been made unusable because a new wall was built around it, blocking the entrance.
Residents are upset because they don't know who ordered the wall or why it was built, making the urinal useless.
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) says they will look into the matter.
This is not the first time such a problem has happened in Bhopal.
Earlier, a railway overbridge and a public toilet also faced similar issues.
