Culture Indian Police to use drones to stop open defecation

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2017-11/17/c_136760382.htm

NEW DELHI, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Southern Indian state of Telanagana has embarked on a unique way to get rid of open defecation, using drones.

As a pilot project, cops have deployed drones on the banks of a local reservoir in the state's Karimnagar district to prevent people from defecating near the dam.

The Lower Manair Dam is a drinking water source for the people of Karimnagar town and "if successful, the scheme will be replicated in other districts also", officials said on Friday.

Local police chief V.B. Kamalasan Reddy said the scheme has already started yielding results. "The number of people indulging in open defecation has come down drastically," he told the media.

Urination and defecation in the open are common in several parts of rural India and even in some semi-urban areas and a few urban areas too.

This is despite the Indian government offering cash incentives to subsidise construction of toilets, and initiating hygiene and sanitation awareness campaigns like "No Toilet, No Bride".

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made eliminating open defecation in this country a priority, and wants every home to be installed with a toilet by 2019.

I just don't understand India. They think that it's unsanitary to have a toilet in or near the house. Yet it's perfectly reasonable to turn your water supply into a septic tank. They probably have some level of immunity to diseases that spread this way. But people are still getting sick and the streets are gross.

Has anyone ever been to India? does it smell bad? I can imagine many areas smelling like an open sewer and people being so used to it that they don't care.

Reading this is the clostest I've gotten to India and it's plenty. I'm just grateful we didn't find a way to transmit smells over the internet yet.

So what do the drones actually do when they catch a rogue pooper? Do they just ID them so cops can follow up later or do they actually speak to the perp through the drone? Because if the end result is someone trying to take a dump in public with a drone hovering down next to him going “Stop right there, criminal scum!”, then the future isn’t as bleak as I thought.

They should have drones which spray rogue shitters with an indelible dye.

They're bathing in the Ganges with human and cow corpses floating in it.

I knew it was bad. But I didn't know that there were bodies just floating around with birds picking at them. Indians must have iron immune systems.

I remember watching a video a long time ago where it showed there's these giant carnivorous fish in some of the rivers in india because of all the corpses. The fish eat really well because of the bodies and grow big enough to be a threat to people.

If only there was a fish that ate shit, Africa's hunger problem would be solved by India!

Yeah, India is a toilet of a country.

Indians have immunity to only the most common, trivial diseases you get from tainted water sources. Like basic food poisoning stuff.

They still have regular outbreaks of typhoid, cholera, dysentery, etc that kill shitloads of the locals in a single go.

dysentery, etc that kill shitloads

Heh

My Christmas wish this year is that it start killing them faster than the replacement rate they can breed at.
