Public toilet's dirty water enters homes in Gultekdi

CIVIC NEGLIGENCE | Locals blame PMC's lackadaisical attitude for the health hazard, aggravated by its lack of maintenance
A public toilet located behind the 427 Power House in Gultekdi Industrial Estate has become a major civic nuisance, with residents complaining of an unbearable stench, garbage piles, and now an alarming health hazard.
Residents allege that due to poor maintenance and blockages, dirty water from the toilet is flowing into nearby houses, putting families, especially children and the elderly, at severe health risk.
According to locals, the toilet has no electricity supply and no running water.
Despite repeated complaints to the Bibwewadi Ward Office of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), no concrete action has been taken.
Speaking to The Free Press Journal (FPJ) on the issue, social activist Mehboob Landge said, "A few days back, reopening the toilet was a welcome step, but without maintenance and sanitation, unbearable foul smell and filth have spread in the area."
