The public washrooms in India  are mostly unclean  and sometimes so much so that they are unusable .
I am proposing a system under which rules and regulations be laid down such that if a washroom is dirty then the person/ authority incharge of maintaining it may be asked to pay a monetary fine which would increase in proportion to the irregularity
The washroom may be disallowed from operating further and until it meets the hygeine standards laid down  if the level of hygeine is totally unacceptable Making thousands of washrooms will not ensure a Swatch Bharat .Strict rules ensuring that they are kept clean would.

A washroom with broken / malfunctioning fixtures should be fined .For example - Broken toilet seat , broken taps, lack of water supply, absence of soap, broken doors of washroom etc.

I want an answer to a simple question: Why cannot we levy a fine or fix a jail term for a dirty public toilet? Travelling without a ticket is a punishable offence, so is drunken driving and spitting in public (during the pandemic). Not wearing a mask at a public place is punishable with Rs 10,000 fine in Kerela. 

So why cannot it be the same for a poorly maintained public washroom? Broken fixtures and lack of water supply are glaring shortcomings that can be easily identified, verified and acted against in the form of a fine / prison term.

I had raised this issue with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. The matter was referred to Joint Secretary, Ministry of housing and Urban Affairs. This was further referred to the Joint Advisor and Director, Swachh Bharat Mission. 
The government officials were of the view that a public washroom that is charging money for the use of its facilities can definitely be fined if the services are found to be below acceptable levels of health and hygiene.
Also, since Sanitation is a state subject, they were of the view that the appropriate authority for this discussion will be the Mayor and Municipal Commissioner of Dehradun to initiate appropriate action.
We can take one more step towards a Swachh Bharat by putting this in action.

I would like to thank Director , Swatch Bharat Mission - Mr Naveen Agarwal and Joint Advisor , Mr Chaurasia for their prompt response and suggestions to bring this idea towards implementation .

Thanks to Centre  for Science and Environment New Delhi being the first to appreciate the effort and extending support

I hope the Mayor and Municipal Comissioner of Dehradun take the lead in implementing this measure and sets an example for the rest of the country to follow 

I am hoping to get citizen support at Dehradun and from the common citizen of India to get this initiative implemented and enforced
