A week after mid-day highlighted the ordeal of women of Sant Jalaram Bapu Nagar chawl in Vasai East who are forced to relieve themselves in the open, civic officials are yet to install iron doors and supply water and power to nine squat toilets there. When contacted, Vasai Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) officials passed the buck. “Please contact the additional municipal commissioner,” civic chief Anil Kumar Pawar told mid-day.
Additional Municipal Commissioner Ajinkya Bagade, in turn, claimed that the doors had been installed at all the squat toilets. But when mid-day asked for the photographs of them, he said, “The doors are yet to be installed, but we have given a written complaint to the police for necessary action.”
