I am sorry to say, Victor, that you did not read my message correctly. I asked, "Are there any functional public toilets in the area?" in response to Bernice's post. If there are no functional toilets in the area, there is no point complaining. Motivate the panchayats and local government bodies to build such public conveniences first.
