Bangalore: The city’s first citizen promised to install eToilets across the city a couple of months ago. But don’t set out looking for them because you won’t find one.

Mayor BS Sathyanarayana had made a tall promise that 100 eToilets — electronic public toilet booths — will be installed in several localities in 10 days. He also said he’ll provide money from his funds to build more public toilets to overcome their dire shortage in the city.

The Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) officials will submit an action plan in the next two days to the state government to improve the sanitation condition in the city.

Old and broken sewerage lines in the city that supply contaminated water to houses are one of the major reasons behind spread of hepatitis E.

The sewerage lines in the city need to be repaired and sanitation to be improved. Also, it needs to be ensured that the drinking water supply is not infected with the Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) to control spread of the virus.

A community toilet in Santacruz (West) was adjudged the best such block in the city by Clean India Foundation, a private firm, which has been working for better sanitation facilities in the city si

In a bid to create awareness on sanitation and eradicate open defecation, several awareness campaigns were organised in the city on Tuesday, World Toilet Day.

The programmes reinforced the State government’s thrust to eradicate open defecation.
