“A top Indian minister has proposed projects worth $130 million project to rid India of the scourge of open defecation and clean up a rail system he described as the world’s ‘largest open toilet’. Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said that India, where 130 million households are without a latrine, accounted for 60 percent of the global volume of open defecation. He proposed a 5.0 billion rupee project to replace the open-hole toilets on the 50,000 coaches that ply India’s vast railway network with bio-toilets over the next five years.” [If you really want to destroy something useful, put the government in charge of it.]
