Lack of toilet sense of Indians delay International flights

In the latest instance of of "toilet abuse", a Delhi-Chicago Air India flight took off with only eight out of the 12 toilets functioning. It was a 17-hour flight and, even the eight toilets went out of order one by one. As a result, with no toilets available, the over 340 passengers, including seven infants, had to wait till landing for relieving themselves.
This incident reveals the lack of toilet sense of Indians.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 15 March 2017.

Aircraft toilets get blocked if a passenger throws any object into the toilet, like a plastic bottle, soiled diapers, a bunch of tissue papers. Such objects damage its vacuum flush system and, in such cases, the object has to be located, removed and system flushed. This is a time-consuming process and the flight is delayed.
In the older days, a blue liquid chemical was used to flush the toilet system and, in case of a blockage, hot water was an answer. Today, aircraft like the Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 have a vacuum flush which is advanced technology and, once it is blocked, there is nothing much the cabin attendants can do except make a log entry.
