After NGOs under the Swachh Mumbai Prabodhan Abhiyan (SMPA) refused to disinfect community toilets citing the absence of protective gear and assurance of incentives, Dahisar ward office distributed masks, gloves and sanitisers among the workers and they have been assured of incentives.

After BMC's workers too refused to disinfect community toilets and containment areas earlier, the civic body had asked SMPA workers who are paid R5,400 per month to do the work. Many of them were, however, unwilling to take the risk without protective gear. The BMC workers are ideally only supposed to clean the public toilets.
Community toilets are usually maintained and cleaned by the contractors appointed by a local leader.
