India to check on toilet use in 'real time'

Indian women hold latrines during the opening ceremony of the three-day International Toilet Festival in New Delhi on November 18, 2014 India's government Wednesday announced a nationwide scheme to check whether people are using toilets as part of a cleanliness drive championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sanitary inspectors will go door-to-door to "check and verify the use of toilets" with mobile phones, tablets or iPads and upload the results onto a website in "real time", a government press release said. "Earlier, the monitoring was done only about the construction of toilets, but now the actual use of toilets will be ascertained," it said. Modi announced the cleanliness drive in his Independence Day speech in August, pledging a toilet in every household by 2019.
