It has to be remembered though that there are public toilets in a dangerous condition in other wards, too. Corporators need to undertake audits and move on repairs and reconstruction where warranted

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will demolish and reconstruct 30 dangerous public toilets at a cost of Rs 68 lakh for each. Interestingly, the civic body is reconstructing these toilets as a proposal tabled in the Standing Committee meeting claimed that repairs will cost more than reconstruction.
This has been triggered after a community toilet had collapsed three years ago and two people had died. The tragedy had led to audits of the public toilets in the ward.
