Mysuru has installed steel mirrors along a compound wall near the suburban bus stand in an effort to curb public urination. The move is intended to create a sense of self-awareness among individuals, discouraging them from urinating in public.

The area has long been a concern for commuters and pedestrians due to the lack of hygiene caused by public urination, with the nearest public toilet facility located within the bus stand.

The initiative has sparked debate about the responsibility of civic authorities, with some residents pointing to the lack of accessible public toilets in the vicinity.

The city has reportedly struggled with inadequate and poorly maintained public toilets, including in busy commercial areas.

The immediate outlook includes continued monitoring of the effectiveness of the mirror installation, with some suggesting an increase in the number of public toilets as a more sustainable solution. The city's response to the debate over civic authority responsibility is expected to unfold in the coming days.
