Mangalore, Oct 23: The Mangalore City Corporation has decided to introduce high tech toilets in Mangalore city very soon.
These box type high tech toilets with overhead water tanks are also called E toilets. The E toilets will be installed throughout the city in crowded areas. The E toilet can be shifted anywhere with ease.
The E toilets are not manned and are fully automatic. When a coin is inserted in the specified slot, the door opens. After the toilet is used, the water system automatically flushes the toilet and a pleasant fragrance is released to freshen up the atmosphere inside. The door also closes automatically after a person exits.
The toilets are installed near the drainage systems. There is also a provision to connect solar power to these toilets instead of normal electricity supply.
A Saudi based company operating from Kerala has been in talks with Mangalore City Corporation in providing these e toilets.
The commercial advertisements around the e toilets will subsidize the expenses incurred towards instalment and maintenance of the E toilets.
Visitors to Mangalore have been complaining about the sanitary facilities available in the city. There are few toilets available, much less than required. And the presently available toilets are totally unhygienic. We hope the E toilet concept brings a relief to the existing problem.
