Officials of Pudukottai municipality cleaned 31 public toilets and 18 toilets in municipal schools as part of the World Toilet Day observance here on Tuesday. Separate teams were constituted for the purpose.

One of the teams led by S. A. S. Sait, Municipal Chairman (in-charge) and J. Subramanian, Commissioner (in-charge), inspected the public toilets opposite the platform meant for Tiruchi-bound buses in the new bus stand.

Besides cleaning public toilets, the officials also replaced old buckets and mugs. Taps, water tanks, and pipe lines were also repaired. Mr. Subramanian said that Pudukottai municipality has only recently renovated these toilets from the special funds allotted by the State government in connection with its centenary celebrations.
