well written. Sorry to notice there has been no response.What happened to Sulab International? Why has it not spread? What is the practice in Western countries like the USA? How do they manage? What is the cost of their mode of management? How is it done in Pakistan? Sri Lanka and other SAARC countries?

I agree, the common man is only intersted in movies and sleep. we are very soft taking everything for granted. I hope it will not be laaaate when all of us take our surroundings seriously.

In the US, night soil from places which are not connected to the central sewage system, is collected in an underground tank. The house owner either contracts a sweage company or pays his local council who then contract with a sewage company. A truck comes aound every 10-15 days to collect the refuse and then dumps it in the sewage recycling plant outside the city. The entire process is clean and hygenic. The workers wear protective clothing and the system is airtight. There is no smell and the system is not all that high tech. Certainly, if we can launch Agni missile and fly the LCA we can design similar systems or better ones even!
