On record
More than ten public toilets built with Swachh Bharat and government grant money have remained locked for years, some with broken windows and drainage problems; a separate 2026 civic survey found toilets missing in 30 wards and closed in nine more.
The official record states: "MCC Executive Engineer cited "several issues" needing repair and a "dismal response to tenders for toilet maintenance.""
“Forty-eight lakh per toilet, years locked, and thirty wards still without one.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire
“Forty-eight lakh for one toilet at Vidyaranyapuram, locked so long that the windows broke on their own.”
“Ten toilets, all shut, and a civic survey that found thirty wards in Mysuru with none at all.”
“The engineer says the maintenance tenders got a dismal response, so the buildings are being maintained by not being opened.”
