Video of public toilet seats installed without partition in Smriti Irani's constituency goes viral
Amethi: A video of 4 public toilet seats installed side by side without partition in Uttar Pradesh has been going viral on social media on Friday. The incident was reported to be from Katehti village in the Jagdishpur block of Amethi which falls under Union Minister Smriti Irani's parliamentary constituency.
The public toilet was built for the convenience of the villagers but remains locked. Even though substantial amounts were allocated for the construction of this public toilet, all five seats constructed are non functional as the seats inside are caked up with dirt.
Taking to X, formerly known as twitter, UP Congress expressed amusement over the situation, questioning, How would it be if this public toilet built in Amethi is declared the eighth wonder of the world. Targeting Amethi MP Irani , they demanded accountability, asking who is responsible for this, whether the contractor, officials, or the minister herself.
Responding to UP Congress’s tweet, Shrikant Yadav, District Public Relations Officer (DPRO) said A new public toilet has been constructed elsewhere in the village and the toilet in question is now outdated. He further added, The orders to remove the toilet seats from the old facility were issued but were not executed as planned. An investigation will be carried out to determine the circumstances surrounding this peculiar situation
अमेठी में बने इस सार्वजनिक शौचालय को दुनिया का आठवां अजूबा घोषित कर दिया जाए तो कैसा रहेगा...

देखिये! यहां पांच सीटें बिछाई गई हैं और उनके बीच कोई दीवार नहीं। बल्कि, ये ऐसे लगी हैं जैसे किसी हॉल में पांच चारपाइयां पड़ी हों।

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
