Even as the city’s public toilets are in deplorable condition, the civic body has decided to demolish a public toilet and to utilise the land to create a housing facility for conservancy staff. The decision was taken after the Standing Committee of the PMC shortlisted the tender for the area of public toilet at Bibabewadi for Rs 4 lakh. The tender was passed after a formal approval from municipal commissioner Mahesh Pathak.

Clean-up drive: Two years ago a special provision of Rs 1 crore was made, but only some 30 public toilets were added in the last four years.
