BBMP to invest Rs 25 crore to set up 400 new public toilets

BBMP will come up with 400 new toilets in and around the city. The civic authority will invest Rs 25 crore for new toilets that will have solar panels and use tertiary water supply from BWSSB.

Since there were complaints of existing toilets in core area not being maintained well and illegal activities being conducted in the facility, BBMP will demolish such structures or remodel them by inviting fresh tenders. To ensure the new toilets function well, the BBMP will not release any payment in advance and will pay the contractors at the end of the financial year following an inspection of such toilets.
