In A First, 109 Persons Sent To Jail For Urinating In Public

[Georgeclark]

In an unprecedented step and may be for the first time in India, Government Railway Police of Agra division has sent 109 persons to jail for 24 hours as they were found urinating on the railway property, including platform, tracks parking lot.

These people were later released after paying a fine ranging from Rs 100 to Rs 500 depending on the gravity of the act of creating a public nuisance.

Disgusted with the stink of urine and ugly red pan stains due to spitting in every nook and corner at stations and other railway properties, senior superintendent of police, GRP, Gopeshnath Khanna ordered his men to conduct a drive against such miscreants and penalize them for public nuisance.

The drive was conducted over a 48-hour period across 12 stations of GRP, Agra division. As many as 109 people were nabbed. Of these 27 were caught in the act on Friday.

The offenders were charged under Section 34 of the Police Act (Punishment for certain offences such as inconvenience, annoyance to passengers or residents in public places, roads, etc).

The Logical Indian applauds the drive started by railway police(Agra) and we wish each and every state follows this. At the same time, govt. should also emphasise on building public urinals and toilets.

In US, its not that people do not urinate, they do urinate, even in US you don't have Toilets on each corner. But people are afraid of the consequences, so even that should be the same here.

In Asia, generally laws are meant to be ignored, that is the general mindset. You can get a ticket for jaywalking in US (at times it used by police to generate funds) but here people just don't care.

Yup, people get fined for petty stuff but when someone else complains, here people do not complain that is the issue.

Warnings are giving always, the people need to understand. Don't they have self respect ? That they have to pee on roads.

How about first having some clean toilets in train and railway stations , ppl have nowhere else to go except urinating in public. The public urinals are too shitty to use. Some times ppl suppress the urination for hours .

Ok, think if a Person is peeing on the wall outside your home, what would you do ??

I use public toilets everywhere in India, they charge 1 rs or 2 rs sometimes and they keep it decent and in Malls etc they are always clean. If you looks for Automated taps and Automated flushes you won't get that even in US. In US you have plastic portable toilets which keep smelling sitting at one place with all the dump in it.
