Type public toilet in Google Maps and you will be able to access 5,162 toilets in Delhi. This is the new feature that Google has launched in Delhi on Thursday. This is obviously a part of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative – Swachch Bharat.

 

According to a survey of the United Nation, a whopping 595 million people in India defecate in the open. Google’s latest initiative will make people refrain from urinating in the public and defecating in the open.
