The civic body will install sanitary napkin vending-incinerator combo machines in public toilets in Mumbai with the dual objective of providing sanitary pads for women and scientific disposal of used sanitary pads.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has given instructions to the BMC to keep the city clean as well as providing facilities at public toilets, said reports. Accordingly, a special campaign is being implemented in all 24 administrative wards. As we go ahead with building more public toilets, it is also important that there are constant improvements in hygiene facilities and there is maintenance of these toilets.
