The facility is set up keeping in mind the women living in small houses, who do not have a separate bathing section. Many times they find it difficult to change during periods. This facility will be a boon for such women and go a long way in promoting good hygiene.

Claimed to be the first-of-its-kind initiative, the much-needed facility has been set up by the Thane Municipal Corporation in collaboration with an NGO, at a slum in Shanti Nagar locality of Wagle Estate area in Thane.

The 45,000 rupees low-cost facility will be replicated in all 120 community toilets in the city.
