The waterless restroom we saw in the desert areas

were scary enough to prevent us from using them.

The smell was strong enough to deter us from the entering the restroom

Of course the smell was that of potent chemicals and not that of human waste.

A look from the exterior!
 
We do not need Chinese import, but our people have to change.

Union Minister for Rural Development, Drinking Water and Sanitation Jairam Rameshs’s ‘India Dream’ to free the country – the rural populace in particular - from open defecation, seems to have faced a setback with people unwilling to use DRDO made Bio-toilets raising a stink.


After launching the bio-digesters in Odisha’s Dhamra village, close to Wheeler Island from where India test fires its all long range missiles, the Minister on June 24 even called it no less important than the Agni missiles. Today, the bio-toilets stand abandoned. The villages are reluctant to use it claiming that they lack required facilities.


The e-age toilets were formally launched at a glittering function by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in association with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) at Dhamra in Bhadrak district.
