New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered the construction and availability of separate toilet facilities for males, females, people with disabilities, and transgender persons in all court premises and tribunals across the country. A bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said that “toilets/washrooms/restrooms are not merely a matter of convenience, but a basic necessity which is a facet of human rights”. “Access to proper sanitation is recognised as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty.

Published by Webster

The vibrant city of Mumbai was tormented by terror on the fateful night of November 26, 2008, as several well-planned attacks rattled the city to its very core. Stories of resilience, bravery, and survival arose in the turmoil – Praveen Teotia’s story is one such tale. Teotia saved over 185 lives during the operation. In 2009, he was honoured with the Shaurya Chakra award by Pratibha Patil, the then President of India. He was a marine commando with the Indian Navy. Despite getting injured severely, Teotia survived during ‘Operation Black Tornado’ at the Taj Hotel. The doctors who attended to him said that he would never be able to swim or run again. However, he debunked everyone by starting a new journey of his life after this. After the attack, Teotia was given a desk job that he did not like. Numerous hardships and financial setbacks followed. He was afraid about the security of his family. No one came forward to help him. However, the toughest battles are won by the fiercest soldiers and Praveen …
