Gwalior Swachh Survekshan 2022: Gwalior (Naiduniya Representative). Swachh Survekshan 2022 has started, but the condition of community toilets in the city is very bad. The worst condition is of toilets built in markets and markets. Most of the people here do not even have care takers. The team from Naiduniya on Friday saw the condition of the community toilets at Sikandar Kampu. Here even taps were missing, whereas in the Swachh Survekshan toilets have a cleanliness score of 190.
For the city to be “open defecation free”, it has been provided in the Swachh Survekshan that all toilets should be clean and hygienic. Their condition should be better, so that every person can use them, but the condition of toilets in the city is completely different from this. It is the opposite. In most of the toilets there is no water in the taps or taps, there is dirt inside. Due to this people are not using these toilets. Even the exhaust fans have been stolen. So instead of using these toilets people are not using them. going out into the open.
Dirty toilets found in inspection: Municipal Commissioner Kishore Kanyal saw the condition of toilets on Friday morning. They saw the toilet at the intersection at Pinto Park, which was very dirty. Expressing strong displeasure over this, he directed the corporation officials to clean all the toilets in the city.
Toilets should have these facilities
Under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, all toilets should be clean. There should be exhaust fans in them as well as sufficient amount of water. Apart from this, there should also be mirrors, soap, towels etc. inside the toilets.
Hats were stolen last year too
Before the Swachh Survekshan 2021, the regional officers of the corporation had installed taps, water tanks, towels, mirrors etc. in the toilets. After this, hats were being stolen every two to three days. Along with this, people had taken out water tanks at many places.
Eye view of community toilets in the city
1- This is the situation found in Sikandar Kampu toilet
Due to lack of water in the community toilet at Sikandar Kampu, there was a lot of dirt inside. The washbasin was missing. There was no glass, towel and even soap inside. There was no arrangement of water nor enough light.
2- sweeping neighborhood
There is a toilet in the Ghosipur Jhadu wala locality, there is also a water tank etc., but the caretaker does not come on time. Because of this people are not able to use it. Although it is also littered with filth, people suffer due to lack of proper cleanliness here. Also, there is no arrangement for towels, mirrors and soap etc.
3-Naugaja Road and thatch bridge
There are toilets and urinals on Naugaja Road and thatch bridge, but it is also very dirty. The urinal on thatchparwale bridge is directly matched with the river Swarnarekha. Because of this, there is dirt here. At the same time, the toilet of Naugaja Road is also dirty as well as towels, soap, glass, taps etc. are missing.
