Portable toilets distributed

Mayor A. Jaya gave away plastic portable toilets meant for children to 65 parents under Tiruchirapalli City Corporation’s model scheme here on Monday. The toilets were distributed with a view to bringing in the thought in young minds that they should desist from defecating in open places. Corporation Commissioner V.P. Thandapani said parents should constantly train children in using portable toilets.

It was also the duty of parents to keep the children’s toilets clean, he said adding that their cooperation was important for the successful implementation of the scheme inaugurated in August.
