Chandigarh improves public toilets with mapping and QR codes

The municipal corporation in Chandigarh is making improvements to public toilets for better hygiene. City mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla announced that all toilets are now marked on online maps, helping people find them easily. Toilets have also been equipped with QR codes. This allows users to report problems like dirt or water shortages quickly. There are more than 300 public toilets across markets, parks, and neighborhoods that are regularly cleaned. Cleaning staff receive gloves, aprons, and other protective gear to maintain hygiene. The city is also enhancing women's toilets by adding incinerators for the safe disposal of sanitary pads. The management of the toilets involves local market groups and contractors to ensure they are well taken care of. Additionally, the municipal corporation is using a digital system to monitor cleaning staff. This helps keep the toilets in good condition. The corporation is also working to ensure fair and equal salaries for all workers involved in this effort.
