Overview
- - Mysuru City Corporation installed five-foot-high stainless steel panels along roughly 85 metres opposite the Suburban/KSRTC bus stand to deter long-running public urination.
- - Officials reported about a 90% drop in incidents within 24 hours of the overnight installation, and drivers who wait at the stand said the stretch already feels cleaner.
- - The project added 28 mirror frames with LED lights that switch on with streetlights, and officials put the estimated cost at about ₹9.5 lakh.
- - A video of the mirrored wall spread widely online, drawing praise for a simple behavioral nudge and concerns about breakage, theft, glare, upkeep, and the need for more clean public toilets.
- - MCC said it could add mirrors at other hotspots after reviewing results, and similar reflective panels were tried earlier on Bengaluru’s Church Street in 2020.
