Mysuru: Though the unseemly sight of people urinating on roads is common, there is a law to prevent such public nuisance. Any nuisance in public place, including urination, littering, spitting, throwing garbage is prohibited and is an offence under local Government rules and regulations.
But such laws are hardly implemented and fines are levied. Though it is the duty of the Municipal Corporation (the Mysuru City Corporation in this case) to provide well-maintained places for public convenience like urinals, latrines and washrooms and at all convenient places, in most of the cases, the civic body fails to do so. As such, there are increased cases of people urinating in public.
