The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has undertaken an initiative to install Sanitary Napkin Vending-Incinerator Combo Machines in public toilets in Mumbai with the dual objective of providing sanitary pads for women’s health protection and scientific disposal of used sanitary pads. Under this programme, 200 plants are already functioning in public toilets especially in slum areas.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has given instructions to the BMC to keep the city clean as well as providing facilities at public toilets. Accordingly, a special campaign is being implemented in all 24 administrative wards. The administration also tends to provide essential amenities along with cleanliness and disinfection of toilets, said an official from the BMC.
