Mysore/Mysuru, May 6 -- In a bid to curb the menace of public urination, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has come up with an unusual, ingenious, and hard-to-ignore solution: Installing metal frames fitted with mirror-like reflective sheets along the footpath on Bengaluru-Nilgiri Road, opposite the Sub-Urban Bus Stand.

Placed near stormwater drains that had turned into habitual 'relief points,' the idea is simple. Anyone attempting to urinate there may now find themselves face-to-face with their own reflection. Not just that, the mirror effect means others nearby can see it too, making it an awkward moment for offenders.

The MCC has also cleared debris from the footpath, making it more convenient and safer for pedestrians to use.
