The Chennai Corporation has tweaked its proposal to install newly-designed toilets across the city.
From 5,000, proposed in the earlier plan, there will now be only 2,000 toilets installed in crowded areas in all 15 zones. Most of the spots have been already been identified, based on a survey by the civic body, focussing on commercial areas lacking in toilet facilities.
The toilets will be made of high-density polyethylene or polycarbonate sheets or an equivalent material. The structures will be constructed under a public-private partnership mode.
Requests from residents and representatives of commercial establishments pertaining to the setting up of toilets will be taken into account before the final document is readied this week.
The civic body has also identified spots in such a way that pedestrian areas are not encroached upon. The structures will not in any way obstruct footpaths. All the 2,000 toilets will be designed to suit the humid climate, as concepts such as that of the dry toilets have been found unsuitable.
