Once defecation-free, Berhampur now has acute shortage of public toilets
The Morning Standard
|November 05, 2024
BERHAMPUR city was declared open defecation free in 2018. Two years later, the Berhampur Municipal Corporation (BeMC) was awarded ODF++ ranking in the Swachhat Sarvekshan (cleanliness survey) conducted by the Centre.
But the acute shortage of functional public toilets and garbage strewn in the open belie the very notion of sanitation.
The city has a population of 6 lakh, excluding a floating population of over one lakh. While most households in the city have their own toilets, people residing in slums use embankment of ponds to defecate.
