There is a goal of constructing community toilets in the state that are comfortable and convenient for people of all classes and communities. Separate toilets, urinals and hand washing facilities will be ensured in these community toilets, including third gender persons with disabilities, women and men.
In rural areas, community toilets will be built in Haat-bazaars, bus-stands, religious places, banks of ponds, banks of highways and in the habitations of scheduled castes and tribes.
