Sanitation and Sewage are two issues facing India.
On Sanitation, It’s true the number of toilets have covered the entire country, now the focus is on educating mainly rural and some urban population to maintain and use them. For example. A common rural belief is that one should squat away from the house to keep it clean and pure, hence fields, in reality it spreads diseases
Sewage is a different matter, while some cities have robust drainage system others flood in a blink. Some flood every year. Open sewage vrs closed ones, draining entire drainage water into our rivers is another problem they have to solve.
