Apart from this, the municipality is maintaining 11 public toilets in different areas of
the town. However, considering the floating population, there arises a need for
provision of public toilets and Pay and Use toilets especially in the commercial
localities and other public places like bus stand, rickshaw stand etc. Another area
where the sanitation standard needs to be improved is in educational institutions. It
is essential that this aspect be given immediate attention.
