The design for bio-toilets that are to be set up at the city’s beaches is ready. The National Green Tribunal had, last year, directed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to install toilets along the seashore so that beaches are not soiled. The BMC, which recently received a fabricated bio-toilet, announced this project in May this year.

The first such toilet will be set up at Juhu beach soon, said a civic official. These toilets will also have a facility for transgender people. In a report in this paper the official explained that they needed to make a concrete base for the installation. There will be seven seats in each toilet—three for men, two for women, one for transgender individuals and one for the differently abled.
