11% Toilets Claimed to be Constructed by PSUs in Schools 'Non-existent' and 30% 'Not in Use': CAG

News 18  

The CAG on Wednesday said its audit of toilets constructed by central PSUs in schools found 11 per cent of them either non-existing or partially built and another 30 per cent not in use due to operational reasons. "The non-existing and partially constructed toilets constituted 11 per cent of toilets surveyed," it said. The audit also noticed cases of defective construction of toilets, non-provision of foundation/ramp/staircase, and damaged/overflowed leach pit, which led to ineffective use of toilets, CAG said. "Since the Audit survey covered 2 per cent of total toilets, the CPSEs are advised to review/survey the remaining 98 per cent toilets and take appropriate action for rectification of deficiencies.
