And you. Filed a case with a high court questioning the lack of access to Public Toilets for women they found there were no toilets for women in crowded areas in the city near the main bus station or in markets so thats why we approve these toilets are made out of old buses. That will be good. A lack of toilets is not just a minor problem in india its a calls of extreme discomfort for many and can also lead to Serious Health issues.
