The toilet complexes in New Delhi city is set for a makeover. They will be converted into swank new modern complexes, complete with coffee shops, fast food joints and flower shops. As per a project developed by the Remunerative Project Cell of the civic body, about 1,000 such complexes would be made ready for the city in a phased manner over the next eight months, in time for the Commonwealth Games next year. About 60% of these toilets would be new, while the rest would be redeveloped versions of the existing public toilets in the city.
According to the civic body, the first such complex would come up at Kailash Colony on a pilot basis before being extended to other markets. To be built at a cost of about र1 crore per toilet, the complexes will have eating joints or coffee shops on the top to ensure advertising and retail revenue to the complex developers under the public-private partnership model. These complexes would be maintained by the developers for 20 years. As per MCD reports, a lot of ideas have gone into the design of the complexes with a team of 23 designers and five agencies working on it.
