New Delhi - The Indian capital has launched a campaign to discourage urinating in public places - a common sight across the country.
The city of New Delhi, which is preparing to host the Commonwealth Games in October next year, will soon be displaying large billboards along its gridlocked roads and on buses in a bid to embarrass those who urinate in public, said Mayor Kanwar Sain.
The signs will feature three characters: Mr Thu-Thu Kumar (the spitter), Mr Kuda Kumar (the litterbug) and Mr Su-Su Kumar (the person who pees in public), reported CNN.
'The capital of India must be clean. We see how clean places like Singapore are. Why not Delhi?' the mayor said.
The authorities will launch a similar campaign on television and radio, he said.
Urinating, spitting and littering in public are acts punishable with a fine of US$10 (S$14) or more in New Delhi, according to CNN.
Mr Deep Mathur, spokesman for the city's municipal corporation, said offenders had been prosecuted, but could not provide immediate figures about prosecutions aimed at sanitation control.
Mr Bindeshwar Pathak, India's winner of the Stockholm Water Prize which is awarded to those who contribute to the conservation and protection of water resources, welcomed the campaign as a motivation for a cleaner Delhi.
Nonetheless, he was quoted by CNN as saying India's capital needed at least 40,000 more well-maintained urinals and bathrooms.
Countrywide, India must build 112,000 toilets a day if it wants to meet its sanitation goals by 2012, according to the Ministry of Rural Development.
