The Tehran has closed its public toilets in accordance with the government measures taken due to an acute water crisis that worsens from one day to another, reports the Iranian media Didban Iran and Shargh, taken over by the DPA.
Didban Iran criticized the government that he is missing inhabitants of “a basic necessity” by closing this service.
The administration of Tehran has not commented on the press information, but witnesses confirm that many public toilets, including those in the subway stations, are already closed. There are about 20,000 public toilets in the metropolitan area of Tehran, according to estimates.
Energy and water attacks have become the main concerns for Iranian citizens. The water supply was stopped up to 48 hours in several neighborhoods in Tehran and at least 50 other cities. Current feathers that last for hours make the air conditioning unused even when temperatures rise to 40-50 degrees Celsius.
It is almost impossible to live in such conditions, many of the 15 million inhabitants of the country complained on social networks.
President Masoud Pezeshkian's government urged people to use less water, but it seems to be helpless, writes DPA, taken over by Agerpres.
Other measures taken into account include a reduction in the work week from five days to four or even forced closure for one week of the capital to save water and electricity.
Pezeshkian called the situation “a natural disaster” that could worsen in the coming weeks, given that the tanks are almost empty. He said he thought about moving the capital to prevent possible chaos.
