Mumbai MP Milind Deora has called on the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to implement Assam’s ‘name and shame’ public urinal model, citing its success in reducing open defecation and improving sanitation. The proposal seeks to hold users accountable by publicly displaying their names on the urinals.
Mumbai MP Milind Deora has publicly urged the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to adopt the ‘name and shame’ public urinal model that Assam has successfully implemented. The scheme, which displays the user’s name on the urinal, aims to deter misuse and promote hygiene.
Deora highlighted the model’s impact in Assam, where it has reportedly reduced incidents of vandalism and improved sanitation in public spaces. He called on BMC officials to study the Assam pilot and consider a similar rollout across Mumbai’s municipal areas.
The BMC has yet to respond to Deora’s request. The MP emphasized that adopting the model could help Mumbai address its persistent sanitation challenges and align with national cleanliness initiatives.
If implemented, the scheme would require coordination between municipal authorities, local law enforcement, and community groups to ensure compliance and maintain public trust.
