"India outsources loo-cleaning to UK"

Not a bad deal...UK outsources clerical BPO to India, and India outsources "this" work to British BPO's 
Quote:
MUMBAI: This is one outsourcing deal that won’t raise a stink. Except, perhaps, in Britain. For, our erstwhile rulers have been awarded a contract to clean toilets at Churchgate station. The Raj is well and truly over.
Technical Concepts, a UK-based hygiene solutions provider, recently finished the job of cleaning up the Churchgate station toilet in co-ordination with its local partner, Dinesh Kumar and Company.
Technical Concepts has installed 37 auto janitors in the gents toilet after the revamp. The company claims that it has used special biosense refills in these janitors to provide an "odour-free" environment to the seven lakh commuters travelling on the WR suburban line.
"These heavily used urinals now have a refreshing whiff of fresh air," it said. As a unique selling proposition, Technical Concepts even waxes eloquent about how its user-friendly technology generates perfumed air in what hitherto was a stinking loo.
Sanjeev Baid, a broking professional who uses the Churchgate station toilet regularly, felt the stink has definitely reduced after the revamp.
"Earlier, even entering this toilet was a nightmare. But now it appears clean, spacious and the stink is almost gone," he said.
Technical Concepts managing director Bill Yemc exudes confidence that the company would be able to continue providing right hygiene solutions for varied requirements (read toilets) of customers.
Chief public relations officer Pranai Prabhakar said the company was appointed to clean up the toilet after all indigenous solutions failed. "We installed several exhaust fans but to no avail. Our office was inundated with complaints from commuters about the bad smell emanating from the toilet reaching even the main corridor of Churchgate station," he said.

Ideally, I would have been glad to see the queen or her rugrats inaugurating this service by making the first stroke of brush. That would been a real case of "khoon ka badla khoon"

Hope Indian Govt. outsource the job to clean all major railway stations toilets incl., Chennai.
But interestingly the worst public toilets that i have ever seen in my life are in Riyadh (one of the many places that i have been to). Very unhygenic. I rather would ease in public rather than in those private toilets.

Enf of O_N's quote
TK-> But looks like only the Technical Know how was from UK. All the field work was done by an Indian co. and Indian workers. Wonder if any "Gora" came from UK and saw the condition of the toilets and smell of the toilets physically. What one generally does is that , the indians might have done a measured drg. of the toilet with windows, doors, openings, volume and no. of fittings and sent it to UK along with some photographs and those people would have proposed the solution and also sent the stuff needed to clean/ de odourise this toilet complex. Anyway, it is a step in the right direction.
