UN J-K govt employees’ salaries stopped for not having toilets at home

Sending out a strong message against open defecation, salaries of around 600 government employees in Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir were stopped for not constructing toilets at their houses, an official said on Saturday.

Angrez Singh Rana, district development commissioner, Kishtwar passed the order yesterday on receipt of a report submitted by Anil Kumar Chandail, assistant commissioner development, regarding non-availability of toilets in the houses of 616 state employees of Padder block, he said.

Jammu and Kashmir has achieved a target of 71.95 per cent with respect to the construction of Individual Household Latrines (IHHLs), verification and geo-tagging of units under the Swachh Bharat Mission.

Kishtwar has registered 57.23 per cent success in this regard.Leh and Kargil districts in Ladakh, Shopian in south Kashmir and Srinagar have been declared Open Defecation Free (ODF), while Anantnag and Pulwama, also in south Kashmir, are likely to achieve the ODF status by the end of April.

After receiving Chandail’s report, the Kishtwar district development commissioner took serious note of the matter.

“It is shameful and depicts the government in a bad picture...being a government employee, our behaviour and way of living should serve as an example in the society for others to follow,” the official said.

Talking about the ODF targets of various regions of the state, he said 98.64 per cent target has been achieved in Pulwama district, 98.43 per cent in Anantnag, 91.92 per cent (Kupwara), 84.53 per cent (Rajouri) and 72.95 per cent in Kulgam.

He added that 68.26 per cent target has been achieved in Doda, 67.59 per cent in Baramulla, 67.44 per cent (Bandipora), 66.74 per cent (Ramban), 64.21 per cent (Samba), 63.93 per cent (Jammu), 62.99 per cent (Budgam), 62.20 per cent (Ganderbal), 61.45 per cent (Poonch), 56.09 per cent (Reasi), 48.41 per cent (Udhampur) and 45.69 per cent in Kathua.

This is top tier Pajeet logic. How are these civil servants supposed to build toilets for themselves if they're not getting paid? They should be getting their wages garnished towards a fund that will be used to build toilets for them.

And thus india continues its 500 year streak of violently resisting any and all efforts to break their nauseatingly horrible traditions

 

[LocalFireDept]

Leave it to a government to want to literally flush their budget down the toilet. Indians should take to the streets in protest!

 

[Ruin]

Designated shitting salaries.

I mean, I guess it makes sense. Why pay government employees if they won't use their money on a toilet and instead shit in the streets they govern? The easier and more civil solution would be just build some fucking toilets for your employees.

Why is it so fucking hard to get them to shit in a toilet? It isn't like it's difficult, it isn't like it's breaking some sort of sacred tradition like trying to get them to eat beef would be, and it has to be more comfortable than just awkwardly crouching outdoors. It also really looks incredibly bad on the country's populace, to boot. Just poo in the fucking loo you crazy motherfuckers.

You know what with all this talk of Toilets in India I have done some research and I can see no mention of them building associated infrastructure such as water lines to provide the flush function or sewer systems.

OK that leaves Rainwater collection or manual tank refills, the former is possible but the latter is going to be difficult outside of more modern parts of major cities and in some more rain prone areas.

As for the poop export, I can't see anything happening on this front India throw anything they can towards TATA and tata love to spin things like Civic engineering works and they haven't done much more than normal domestically, so that leaves other options like Composting, or direct deposit into a bin that is then burned or tipped and that seems like the more likely option.

Part of it is cost, part of it is space, and the biggest part of it is resistance to change, the last one is the biggest hangup that causes the most issues in India and always has been and was something we had to deal with during the Raj the main problem is this they have some really educated people in small concentrations who want to modernise the country but the vast majority is mostly uneducated who don't understand why it's nessisary to change just because it's been done that way for the last few thousand years doesn't mean it's the right way to do it.

They probably assumed they'd be using the Designated Shitting Streets instead.

Great idea, a fund Designated for the improvement of Indian defecation.
A Designated Shitting Fund
