'Haath ki safai' is not something one can expect in the toilets of police stations in the Western region of Mumbai. It goes without saying that no soap or handwash is available in these toilets. The police say that most visitors, for instance at Khar police station, hardly want to use the toilet, so the lone washroom at the police station has been kept reserved specially for the use of police personnel.

To compound this problem for visitors, there is no public toilet within the radius of one kilometre of the police station. A little before Khar, the Bandra police station may have recently revamped its toilets, but their condition has not improved much. The toilets are poorly lit and water drops fall onto the user's head when he/she squats, due to leakage from the ceiling. The toilets also stink.
