The BMC has decided to clean public and community toilets five times a day, just as it was the norm when the city was fighting COVID-19. The instructions were given to the Solid Waste Management department and the implementation plan is being discussed.

Dirty, stinking public toilets are a major problem for the city. Not only do they create serious health hazards, but they also become a nuisance to residents staying nearby. Though BMC, MHADA, and MMRDA have spent substantial funds to construct and repair the toilets, the maintenance has remained neglected.
