Enna Chennai Thambi???
[Paid a penny to spend a penny

Residents in southern India are earning a penny every time they spend one at public lavatories in an effort to clean up the streets.

Scores of people queue every day in Musiri, a town in Tamil Nadu, to be paid 10 paise (around 0.8 pence) for each visit. The trips are entered on a user card and totalled up once a month, usually earning about 50p.

The government backed scheme organised by the Society for Community Organisation and People s Education is a response to the common practice of Indians relieving themselves in the open, as sanitation still eludes millions. ]
