Mangalore City Corporation’s (MCC) plan to introduce Namma Toilets comes against the background of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to eliminate open defecation by 2019.

A team of officials from the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has visited Chennai and prepared a plan to introduce the pay-and-use toilets in the city. The first ’Namma toilet’ was built at Tambaram bus station in Chennai in February 2013. It received a good response from the public because of its proper ventilation and availability of water and lighting.
