Is the municipal commissioner’s idea of cleaning public toilets five times a day practical? It will not only create a great inconvenience to citizens as toilets would remain shut for hours together, but also, the funds required for the clean-up may be passed on to users. This would mean that all toilets would become chargeable and of use to a limited number of citizens.
Following Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s rap over cleanliness, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal had asked his team to clean public toilets five times a day. However, many in the know said the move would create inconvenience for citizens as toilets would be shut for nearly three hours for cleaning operations and also the cost of usage to users would be hiked. The additional cleaning would need more money, which may be passed on to users.
