Tehran closed the city’s public toilets, as part of the government’s measures to deal with the acute water crisis affecting Iran, which is exacerbated daily by Didban Iran and Shargh media.

Didban Iran informative has criticized the government for refusing residents “a basic need” with the interrupt of the service.

The administration of the Iranian capital has not commented on publications for the time being, but eyewitnesses confirm that many public toilets, including those at subway stations, have already closed. There are about 20,000 public toilets in the wider Tehran area, estimates.

The energy and water crisis have emerged as a key concern of the Iranians. The water supply has been discontinued for up to 48 hours in various neighborhoods in Tehran and at least 50 other cities. Long -term electricity holidays make it impossible to use air conditioners even if temperatures range between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius.

It is almost impossible to live in such circumstances, many of the 15 million inhabitants of the Iranian capital say in their posts on social media.

Other measures that the government is considering imposing under President Massoud Pescian include a reduction in the week of work from five to four days or even order the closure of the capital for one week to save electricity and water.

But fears about the economic impact of plans mean that they have not been applied at present.

President Pezkian characterizes the situation as a “natural disaster” that could worsen in the coming weeks, as reservoirs have almost been emptied.
