New Delhi: For the development of any city, toilet facilities play an important role in maintaining cleanliness. If there is no proper toilet, women and girls will face problems. To address the situation, "Pink Toilet" has been developed by SDMC.
South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) was responsible for infrastructural construction, fabrication and re-construction of toilets. To manage the utilities, it required sanitary napkins vending machine, incinerators, tissue papers, hand-wash facilities and the feedback mechanism. With SDMC, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) have come together for building "Pink Toilets" around PVR Complexes, where PVR Nest is the maintenance partner for the same.
This is a significant innovative step towards the creation of a hygienic public restroom for women and adolescent girls. The "Pink Toilet is equipped with a sanitary napkin vending machine, incinerator facility and has a breastfeeding area as well. This initiative to build toilets specifically for women and children can address their health and hygiene concerns.
Optimistic about the outcome of Pink Toilets mission, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Mayor, SDMC, said, "Aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, we are determined to improve the sanitation and hygiene in the national capital and we are taking all possible steps for the same."
