BMC Plans 15 Upgraded Public Toilet Blocks in Mumbai's Western Suburbs
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to invest around Rs 13.63-15.30 crore to build 15 upgraded 'aspirational' pay-and-use public toilet blocks across Mumbai's western suburbs. These facilities, aimed for completion within 18 months, will feature separate sections for men, women, persons with disabilities, and transgender users, along with water-saving fixtures, sanitary napkin vending machines, solar panels, CCTV surveillance, and dedicated maintenance areas. Locations include beaches, railway stations, and major roads, supporting the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 initiative to improve sanitation standards.
