App to locate public toilets planned

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) wants to utilise the data it recently gathered during the public toilet survey in the city to build an app to locate public toilets.

The BBMP had geo-tagged locations of public toilets built by it, but not of toilets built and run by NGOs and private players and those in petrol stations. During the survey, the civic body acquired geo-tagged data of all such toilets in the city, which will be mapped on the app, said Sarfaraz Khan, Joint Commissioner, Health, BBMP.
