Google Maps to help find Public Toilet near you

Posted on: 18/Feb/2019 3:04:00 PM
In Chennai, it is a ubiquitous statement that one cannot easily find a public toilet! Well, go on and Google it now! According to latest sources, it is said that the Greater Chennai Corporation has joined hands with the Union Ministry for Housing and Urban Affairs, and the search engine Giant Google to make available the details of over 6,701 public toilets dotted at 853 widespread locations on Google Maps.

Go on and open Google Maps and feed Toilet to check the entire list of toilets in close proximity to you. There are options to also give out reviews about the toilet right on the Google Map.

The Centre has given its funding for the same. Furthermore, as the next step, details of more than 1,200 toilets constructed by private companies are also to be mentioned on Google Maps list in the next stage of development.

Clean it up, or Maps is of no use, say Activists

Listing these many toilets on Google Maps is a good initiative, but it is going to remain inert unless the toilets are hygienically maintained and kept open for the public use.
