The BMC’s previous plans to install 22,774 toilets met with several challenges, and was later abandoned
After a series of deliberations, the BMC has reached a decisive point in its plan to construct additional public toilets within slum areas. The municipal body’s goal is to revamp 559 community toilets, providing over 14,000 seats, in the upcoming year.
Around three months ago, the BMC’s solid waste management department initiated the tendering process, shortlisting 27 contractors from various parts of the city. However, progress was temporarily stalled when the BMC sought Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding to finance the toilet construction, instead of utilising its internal funds. Ultimately, the decision was made to allocate the necessary funds from the corporation’s resources.
