The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has decided to construct 46
\nprecast toilets at a cost of INR 28.1 crore across Bengaluru. The toilets come
\nwith a clean and dry facility, sensor-based flushing for urinals and water-saving
\ntap fixtures. They also come with a technique to eliminate bad odour, provide
\nample ventilation and solar power lighting.<\/p>\n
But citizens have questioned the inflated cost, many are mocking the BBMP
\nasking why they are spending INR 60 lakh to build and maintain a toilet for 5
\nyears. The toilets are part of Phase- 2 of a project the civic agency took up two
\nyears ago. Under Phase-1, 25 precast toilets were proposed to be built at a cost
\nof INR 16.8 crore, of which only 10 have been completed.<\/p>\n
In light of concerns regarding the inflated costs, the BBMP Commissioner
\nemphasised on the transparency of the procurement process, the distinction
\nbetween budget provision and contractor payment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
