Ranchi: The Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) has drawn up plans to construct 135 modern public toilets across the city to upgrade sanitation infrastructure.The facilities will have separate sections for men, women and transgender people, besides QR code-based feedback systems.Site identification has been completed, while tenders for 72 toilets have been finalised. Construction is expected to begin after Chhath Puja. Tendering for the remaining units will be completed shortly, officials said on Tuesday.RMC public health officer Dr Kiran Kumari said departmental guidelines require the projects to be completed within three months.The planned network includes 50 community toilets, 65 public toilets and 20 aspirational toilets. The civic body plans five individual household latrines in each of the city’s 53 wards, besides 362 urinal units.In Aug, the urban development and housing department allocated Rs 43.25 crore to RMC under Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 for toilet construction. Of this, Rs 15.23 crore has been earmarked for community toilets, Rs 20.02 crore for public toilets, Rs 6.09 crore for aspirational toilets, Rs 1.15 crore for urinals and Rs 75 lakh for individual household toilets.Around Rs 30 lakh has been earmarked for each community and public toilet, while every aspirational toilet is expected to cost Rs 32 lakh.Community toilets will target areas where households lack private sanitation facilities. Public toilets will cater to the city’s floating population. Aspirational toilets will be located in busy markets and spaces with a high footfall of women.“All new toilets will have bathrooms, sanitary pad vending machines, incinerators, hand dryers and other facilities,” Kumari said. Aspirational toilets will also include feeding rooms for nursing mothers.Each toilet will have a QR code for user feedback. “The feedback will be reviewed every week and necessary action will be taken,” she said.After construction, the facilities will be handed over to the RMC health wing. Dedicated sanitation workers will be deployed at each location.The permanent structures will gradually replace the city’s 172 modular toilets, which have an operational lifespan of 10 to 12 years. Ranchi has 71 community and public sanitation blocks.
