Pune: With the aim of providing clean and hygenic toilets in the public areas, Pune MP Anil Shirole has initiated a project for installation of state-of-the-art automatic e-toilet facilities in the city.The first set of e-toilets were inaugurated by Pune mayor Mukta Tilak on Jungli Maharaj (JM) Road recently.Speaking on the occasion, Tilak expressed that the initiative taken by the MP will surely contribute in making Pune a smart city."Such compact and highly functional e-toilets are the need of the hour in the city. They will not only prove beneficial towards clean and hygienic sanitation but also give easy and comforting experience to the users, especially for female users.”While talking about the initiative, MP Shirole said, "sanitation has always been one the grave issues which needs to be addressed. Just setting up public toilets isn’t always enough. Its cleanliness and hygiene are always questionable given its untimely maintenance. But with these automated self-maintaining e-toilets, I am sure city will get good hygienic sanitation facilities. I strongly believe that difference can be made starting at an individual level and so decided to initiate these e-toilets for Public.”Siddharth Shirole explained the working mechanism of the e-toilets. He highlighted that using these toilets is hassle free and just by inserting any coin of 50 paisa, 1, 2, 5 or 10 rupee one can open the door and use the toilet.“The e-toilet completely works on human sensor mechanism. It self-flushes the toilets before and after every use. Also, after every few uses, the floors are automatically flushed clean. Being an e-toilet, its is linked with an app through internet giving live updates regarding the usage or any fault in sewage management.”In the first phase, 14 such e-toilets will be installed at 10 different locations in the city.
