Guwahati: Tinsukia Municipal Board is broadcasting CCTV footage of people caught urinating in public on LED screens scattered across town. The strategy aims to end the persistent civic nuisance. Local residents back the aggressive crackdown. They argue that stricter enforcement will force people to respect shared spaces.
The town tried installing large mirrors at known hotspots to stop the behavior, but that plan failed. Now, the board hopes public exposure acts as a better deterrent. Residents say the mess creates unhygienic conditions and ruins walkways for schoolchildren.
Locals pointed out that the town serves as a busy commercial hub, drawing massive crowds daily. They want the city to do more than just shame people. "The crackdown must be accompanied by better public sanitation facilities," residents noted while calling for more free and pay-and-use toilets. Officials have yet to outline plans for new infrastructure as the monitoring program continues.
