The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday opened two advanced modular bio toilets on the 5.5km-long promenade of coastal road.
After the promenade was inaugurated and opened on August 15, the Mumbai civic body had received several requests from citizens to make toilet facilities available on the promenade.
The first bio toilet has been installed near the parking lot opposite Worli Dairy, which is also near the pedestrian underpass. The second facility has been installed at the pedestrian underpass at Bindu Madhavi Thackeray junction.
Each toilet block has two toilet seats for women (one in the Indian arrangement and another in the western arrangement), one each for men, children, and persons with disabilities. The toilets also have sanitary pad vending machines and incinerators.
Bio toilets have tanks that process biological waste and do not need laying of sewer lines. The two toilet blocks have one biodigestor tank each, with a capacity of 3,500 litres.
Two more bio-toilets will be opened for the promenade soon.
