🧠 Problem Title: Public Toilets Available but Not Usable Due to Poor Cleanliness and Maintenance
📝 Problem Description

In many public places such as markets, bus stands, parks, and near schools, public toilets are constructed to provide basic sanitation facilities. However, it is often observed that these toilets are not properly maintained and become dirty, unhygienic, or even unusable over time., Common issues include lack of cleanliness, bad odor, broken doors, absence of water supply, and poor maintenance. Due to these conditions, people hesitate to use these facilities despite their availability. As a result, individuals may be forced to look for alternatives, which can lead to discomfort and unhygienic practices., I have personally observed that many public toilets in my area are either locked, dirty, or not functioning properly. This shows that simply providing infrastructure is not enough; regular maintenance and proper usage are equally important., This problem highlights the gap between availability and usability of public facilities. Clean and functional sanitation is essential for public health, but poor upkeep reduces the effectiveness of these services.
