India: revolution in toilet technology
20 Oct: Financial Times (UK). Anders Wilhelmson, a Swedish architect, professor and informal urban planning expert, has come up with a product to raise the standards of personal hygiene in a country where only 31 per cent of the 1.18bn population has access to proper sanitation. He has designed a single-use toilet pouch that weighs less than 10grams... The Peepoo is a bioplastic bag containing urea powder, which sanitises human excreta. No water is needed and after use the bag breaks down and disintegrates...

love the name - The Peepoo

And of course, Mr "Agnelo Fernandes" (name changed - "to protect the innocent":rofl::rofl::rofl:) will get an Overseas Citizen of India card and can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Duplicity or what?:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

I'm not sure this is exactly what it appears at first sight - getting rid of the (impractical) 1% rule is a considerable relaxation, and there has always been a requirement for 'exceptional' salaries.
Actually it all looks like a turf war between the Home and Labour ministries.

In what way not licenced? It is an Indian Forces air strip not a public airport although non forces planes are allowed to land there, as such does it need a licence?
