Public Toilet Needs Urgent Care – Bangalore Central

Have you noticed the public toilet situated opposite to Bangalore Central? One time, it used to be a neat and clean one which were used by many men and women. Now, it’s in shambles. Recently while waiting for a bus, I noticed one person preparing his bed on top of this loo. He otected his living quarters with shreds of plastic sheets, flex banners, etc. It was a rainy day, and I saw him working his way to plug the water leaks.

Question is about the loo – How can we built and maintain clean, hygenic public toilets in Bangalore? Why are the public toilets in a very unkept state? Is it the lack of funds?

Probably, corp orates or businesses who are earning profits should take tender to maintain these loos. In return, they should get space to publicize their product or service.

For instance, company which makes toilet cleaners or real estate companies or ceramic tile companies, or bathroom accessory firms can pitch for such a project. These companies can start one as a model project. If it’s a success then, they can slowly spread the CSR activity to more public lavatories.

To make this happen, Bangalore BBMP, should publcize or reach out to potential prospects ( companies) and ask them to sponsor a toilet.
