The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded that the City Corporation increase the number of public toilets in Kalaburagi.
CPI(M) district secretary M.B. Sajjan, addressing a press conference here on Friday, said that the City Corporation should come up with a comprehensive plan for constructing at least four public toilets in each ward in the city.
Mr Sajjan said that the number of public toilets in the city is very less compared to the population and there was a dire need to construct new toilets. He said proper arrangements should be made to ensure that they are maintained.
He alleged that the city corporation has failed to maintain and run the toilets in the city properly. The existing toilets operated by the corporation are in a pathetic state, he added. The City Corporation should identify places across the city for constructing public toilets to check open defecation, and efforts should be made to create awareness among people to use public toilets.
