Taking note of the paucity of basic amenities for women in Mumbai, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Ajoy Mehta today said the civic body will construct more public toilets for women in the city.

He also issued directives to conduct special inspection of contractors, who had taken up the task of building public toilets for women, but have failed to do so after MNS general secretary Shalini Thackeray raised the issue of absence of basic public amenities for women.
