I thought this stretch would be kept clean because of Sharda Mandir school and the Science Center and especially because Babush Dada has one of his palaces there, but I saw plenty of thrash strewn around earlier this year. > BTW, whatever else one may criticize Manohar Parrikar for, my impression is that Panjim, at least, was much cleaner under his regime. > The privatized paid public toilets in Panjim are far superior to those I have seen in Mumbai and Pune because they have attendants and are kept fairly clean - but more are needed. In the other cities the public toilets are so filthy that the men tend to go on the outside rather than the inside - and I have no idea what women have available to them! >
