issue in the villages. Similarly, only writing the message of prohibiting public peeing in Arabic helped Bangladeshi government in changing the public attitude.
The general believe is that public toilets in Islamabad are fewer in number and are in bad shape in addition to being filthy and stinky. People also stay away from this facility because of the service fee. The CDA officials did not agree to perception.
Talking to ‘The News’, CDA spokesperson Ramazan Sajid said that CDA has improved the condition of public toilets and the facility is available in all sectors at main public places. According to him, the CDA outsourced 77 sites for up-gradation and renovation for two years.
"The up-gradation included replacement of floor and walls tiles, change of all accessories items, internal and external paint, roof treatment, replacement of doors and windows and all electrical works," he said.
According to sanitation department, eight toilets among the total are facing sewerage issues, two public toilets are closed due to security reasons including the facilities located near Indian embassy and CDA Library.
One facility located in Fruit and Vegetable Market, I-11/4 is occupied by the police. All the other facilities in total five lots are operational with 70 to 100 per cent work up-gradation completed. Ramazan Sajid said that all depends on how the general public uses these facilities.
"These improvements will last long if people start using the public property with care," he said.
