In a protest which may be unique but also smacks of desperation and despair, a Kandivli resident and local Shiv Sena party worker has put out a hoarding announcing a public exhibition of toilets. The 20-seat ground plus one-storey toilet block built in Kandivli’s Shravan Nagar slum at a whopping cost of Rs 1.40 crore is currently in poor shape, with roofs leaking, no electricity and damaged doors, a report in this paper stated.

Weary of no answers from relevant authorities, the local decided to protest by erecting a hoarding urging BMC officials and the general public to visit the nearby toilet block. This block was inaugurated last year.
