Panchkula, December 20

The Panchkula Municipal Corporation has allotted the work of maintenance of public toilets (market and community toilets) to the Hansi Luv Kush Cooperative Society (Hisar). The agency will start its operations from January 1 next year.

The MC had snapped its ties with the Sulabh agency, which was hired for the maintenance and repair of public toilets, following complaints from residents and market welfare associations about their dilapidated condition.

The civic body had earlier allotted the work for repair and maintenance of mobile toilets to another agency, Brahmanand Co-operative Society (Kurukshetra).

Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal said strict instructions had been issued to the new agency to maintain utmost cleanliness inside the toilets. “Any complaint regarding the public toilets should be resolved within a day,” he said.

Chandigarh Tribune, in a report earlier this year, had highlighted the poor condiation of public washrooms in the city.
