Madurai residents highlight urgent needs for public toilets, addressing stray cattle hazards, and propose Kudal Nagar as a second railway terminal.
Lack of public toilets in city
Madurai attracts a large number of devotees and tourists throughout the year and also functions as a major commercial hub, particularly in the trading areas around Meenakshi Amman Temple. Despite this, the city lacks adequate number of public toilets.
Several toilets were demolished. In busy localities such as Vilakkuthoon, the shortage forces traders and visitors to use open spaces. The few existing toilets are poorly maintained owing to inadequate water supply.
The authorities concerned should take urgent steps to ensure proper upkeep of sufficient public toilet facilities in these high-footfall areas.
