The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will demolish and reconstruct 30 dangerous public toilets at a cost of Rs 68 lakh for each.  Interestingly, the civic body is reconstructing these toilets as a proposal tabled in the Standing Committee meeting claimed that repairs will cost more than reconstruction.

This has been triggered after a community toilet had collapsed three years ago and two people had died. The tragedy had led to audits of the public toilets in the ward.
