HYDERABAD: As part of the Safe City Project, which is jointly sponsored by the Central and State Governments, 12 mobile "SHE toilets" have been inducted into service in GHMC limits.

These mobile toilets would be deployed across the three police commissionerates and would be located at crowded places, tourist spots, special events and other areas, where conventional toilets can't be constructed.

The usage of these vehicles was restricted to women. These mobile toilets would be operational round-the-clock during special occasions such as Ganesh Immersion, Bonalu, Exhibition etc.

This mobile toilet can be used free of cost and would be easily accessible to differently abled and aged women. It would have a water storage tank with over 1000 L capacity and provision for four people at a time. These mobiles were GPS enabled and also geo-tagged to be monitored from the Integrated command and control center. These would also include a feeding room.

"This initiative would sour urban spaces into a holistic environment covering all safety needs of women. The State government, GHMC and the city police are assigning financial resources and sufficient efforts in city planning to improve women's safety" said CV Anand.

"To build a safe city, it is important that enforcement and city planning go hand-in-hand." said GHMC Commissioner Lokesh Kumar
