Women dread to use unclean and infection-causing public toilets in city
Hyderabad: Given that there are a scarce number of ‘clean’ public toilets for women in the city, many of them are in discomfort. It is a struggle to find usable toilets and many women, fearing infections, hesitate to use public washrooms due to factors like poor maintenance and hygiene issues. Most are poorly maintained and water facilities are nearly zero.” Sharing her experiences, Y. Gayathri said, “I prefer to use public toilets that are clean and well-maintained. I carry disinfectant spray and most of the time I avoid using public toilets for fear of potential infections,” said N. Sravya. We will soon release a circular to assess the situation and hand over maintenance to NGOs and sanitation workers on a trial basis.” “As per GHMC contracts, the contractors have to ensure that public toilets are cleaned twice every day.
