It has been informed that the municipal corporation has a sufficient budget to roll out the planned interventions. The councillors have been asked to furnish information regarding the name of the place, landmark and the area of the land, so that the work can be started at the earliest. Each of these toilets will require an expanse of 50 square meters. Besides having all necessary amenities, they will encapsulate a bathing area as well.

Amid the evolving face of the city, a string of interventions are being worked out to propel female welfare in the city. Given the will and commitment of the civic administration, an array of benefits can be expected in the long run.
