The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation will acquire land in slum colonies at prices higher than the going market rate to build community toilets for residents. The new proposal in this regard, put forth by the Guardian Minister (suburbs) Mangal Prabhat Lodha, aims to overcome the shortage of community toilets in the city. “If need be, the BMC can acquire huts at more than 3-4 times the market rate to construct community toilets in slum pockets,” he said.
Addressing the issue of shortage and the condition of community toilets in slum areas, Lodha said the condition of community toilets will improve in the next six months, as the work of constructing new toilets and repairing existing ones will begin. “Also, I have suggested that the number of community toilets be increased,” Lodha said.
