NEW DELHI: A recent report released by Praja Foundation, non-partisan NGO, highlights that the number of no garbage collection reports have drastically increased in the National Capital Territory (NCT). The number of complaints about garbage removal have seen a 316 per cent rise between 2015-18. Across the three municipal corporations of the city, solid waste management complaints (28,349) were only behind the complaints related to unauthorised constructions. A senior north municipal corporation official said that they have recently provided avenues to residents to lodge complaints about overflowing dhalaos and smelly urinals and that has led to a spike in calls to helplines. “We are following up on each and every complaint,” said, Milind Mhaske, director, Praja Foundation. The NGO also found out that Delhi was lacking public toilet services for females when compared to men. Mhaske said, “Another civic challenge we found was a high disparity in public toilets available for women as compared to men. In terms of toilet to population ratio, the Swachh Bharat norm is ‘one public toilet seat for 100-400 men’ and ‘one public toilet seat for 100-200 women,’ while in Delhi, there is one public toilet seat for 3,982 men, and one public toilet seat for 9,630 women.”
