Pink toilets to be installed in market areas of Lutyens' Delhi
New Delhi: At least 37 markets in Lutyens' Delhi will get pink toilets, said New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) members on Wednesday, adding that there was a long-standing demand from visitors. At present, six pink toilets — constructed by the civic body — are there on LIC Parliament Street, Super Bazaar Outer Circle, Dharamshala near Safdarjung Hospital, Factory Road near Safdarjung Hospital, B Avenue Sarojini Nagar and B Block in CP. NDMC member Sarita Tomar said that the pink toilets will be facilities with separate staff and maintenance systems. "These facilities will have a woman sanitation worker and a women security guard to ensure safety, hygiene and dignity. The pink toilets would have sanitary napkin vending machines, baby care spaces and clean drinking water. These would be in addition to the provision of women's toilets usually made at other public places," she said.

The project for the construction of pink toilets would be taken up in addition to 79 toilets under construction for transgender individuals in Lutyens' Delhi. A plan for the holistic development of Sewa Basti and the upgrade of civic services at religious places will also be prepared and presented before the council soon. It was decided that a committee will be formed under section 3 of NDMC Act for surveying major temples and coordinating with stakeholders for enhancing lighting, pathways and overall aesthetics at these places. Delhi govt minister and ex-officio member Pravesh Verma emphasised the requirement for comprehensive civic maintenance at religious sites. "A committee for temple beautification and development will be formed to check the availability of adequate water supply, ensuring timely civil repairs, regular cleaning, horticulture maintenance, lighting, and security of devotees. The committee will survey major temples in the NDMC region and coordinate with stakeholders to implement work without disrupting religious activities," Verma said. NDMC has recently done a revamp at the Hamunan Mandir in Connaught Place. He also stressed on strengthening basic services in JJ clusters (Seva Bastis) that focus on sanitation, garbage collection, water availability, street lighting and footpath repair, and integrating them into the mainstream development plans. "The council earlier worked on a project to provide water to each jhuggi cluster under the Har Ghar Jal scheme, and now we are going a step ahead to improve the condition of these places in terms of sanitation services," said NDMC Vice Chairman Kuljeet Chahal.
