BMC chief to hold meet over public toilets' condition

In a bid to maintain its newly-re-validated status as an Open Defecation-Free (ODF) city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will expedite the construction of public toilets. The civic chief will personally review the current status of public toilets and oversee the construction of new ones.

In the first week of October, urban Maharashtra was declared Open Defecation-Free (ODF), even as Mumbai had already staked claim to the tag last year, which was re-validated this year.

A senior civic official said, "There have been complaints of no water and electricity connection in public toilets, which is why people have to go outside for nature's call." According to the official, there are around 8,415 public toilets, with a plan to construct around 4,000 new ones. Earlier this week, DNA had reported about the present status of public toilets in the city. "The BMC has been taking a number of measures to make the city ODF," said the official.
