GHMC Chief Instructs Officials to Ensure Neat Toilets

25 Sep. 23:13

GHMC commissioner, Dr Janardhan Reddy has instructed all AMOHs to personally visit as many Public Toilets in their jurisdiction as possible to make their environs neat and tidy.

Specific instructions have been given to verify and make arrangements for proper maintenance, regular water supply, availability of electricity, lighting, minor repairs, so that people show interest in making use of them, he said.

The Commissioner himself personally visited the prefabricated public toilet at Leela Nagar, near Begumpet Railway Station and interacted with the attendant. It is learnt that about 40 to 50 citizens are using the toilet. But the disgusting revelation is that equal number of people is resorting to open peeing just ahead of the Toilet. This is despite the fact that the operator Subash did not insist on payment from anybody and the payment is only voluntary.

The Commissioner instructed the Khairatabad Circle 17 officials to ensure regular water supply, repair to doors, prevention of roadside parking of vehicles obstructing the view of toilet, no open urination signage at the open space opposite to the toilet, improved sanitation around the toilet.

He made an appeal to the citizens not to resort to open peeing as it is everybody’s responsibility to keep this city clean. It is said that open peeing is a disgrace and we can expect it’s elimination only through behavioral change. To encourage this change, the GHMC is striving to improve the physical environs at all public Toilets. M/s EESL, a Public Sector sponsored firm has come forward to sponsor two pairs if uniform with GHMC Logo to care takers of all Public Toilets in GHMC.(NSS)

Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery

Android Authority Check out the Nokia 2, a budget phone with a monster battery 19 hours ago HMD Global is slowly building up its portfolio of stock-Android-running smartphones. In addition to the trio of mid-rangers (Nokia 3, 5, and 6) it launched at MWC , the company bolstered its high-end with the Nokia 8 , and now the other side of spectrum is getting some attention. Just leaked by Evan Blass , the Nokia 2 looks… well, like a generic cheap phone. If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone. First, you might have noticed that the phones in the leaked renders show October 5 as the date. Dates in renders are often set to match the launch time, but this could be an old render and there’s still time for things to change. Read more Han...

How safe are our kids in schools?

TOI How safe are our kids in schools? 7 hours ago by Praveen Lenka Whatsapp Facebook Google Plus Twitter Email Linkedin SMS SHARE HIGHLIGHTS Parents’ Suggestions Feedback from parents should be taken in the right stride by school authorities. PTA should have more authority and a right to put their points across in all school matters, especially when it comes to the safety of their children. No child, especially small kids, should be allowed to go alone to the washroom. There should be zero tolerance for non-compliance with child safety guidelines. Official authorities should conduct regular checks in schools to ensure that they have implemented safety measures. Schools should take the help of professional counsellors/psychologists to interview potential recruits. Over the past two days, twin incidents of students getting assaulted in their school premises have been reported from the National Capital. Close on...

THE LOST WORLD ( CHAPTER 12)

CHAPTER XII "It was Dreadful in the Forest" I have said—or perhaps I have not said, for my memory plays me sad tricks these days—that I glowed with pride when three such men as my comrades thanked me for having saved, or at least greatly helped, the situation. As the youngster of the party, not merely in years, but in experience, character, knowledge, and all that goes to make a man, I had been overshadowed from the first. And now I was coming into my own. I warmed at the thought. Alas! for the pride which goes before a fall! That little glow of self-satisfaction, that added measure of self-confidence, were to lead me on that very night to the most dreadful experience of my life, ending with a shock which turns my heart sick when I think of it. It came about in this way. I had been unduly excited by the adventure of the tree, and sleep seemed to be impossible. Summerlee was on guard, sitting hunched over our small fire, a quaint, angular figure, his rifle across his knee...
