Thiruvananthapuram :
The Kerala High Court has held that toilets in petrol pumps are not meant for use by the general public.
The ruling by Justice C S Dias came on a plea by an organisation representing petroleum traders and several pump owners objecting to the categorisation, by the state government and local bodies, of toilets in their establishments as public facilities.
The pump owners, in their petition, have contended that the private toilets in their establishments were meant for the emergency needs of the customers and cannot be left open for the general public.
Agreeing with their contention, the court, in an interim order, directed the state government and the Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation "not to insist that the wash rooms in petitioners' outlets be used by the general public".
With the direction, the court listed the matter for further hearing on July 17.

The initiative will provide a platform for all stakeholders to discuss our goal of improving safety standards, to start a conversation about safety of women in the country
It will also highlight various interventions and solutions that help to make women safe and put the spotlight on what more can be done.
The campaign will accentuate the need for Safety to be a shared responsibility
The need for gender sensitization and how law enforcement and civil society through checks and education can try and make women safer
