PMC faces scrutiny over e-toilet flop

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is facing huge criticism after a series of etoilets installed under Pune MP Anil Shirole's quota funds in May 2018 have failed to function consistently for the last five years and were totally ignored by authorities.

PMC had given a contract worth 1,99,13,600 to Eram. Scientific Solutions to install 11 e-toilets with one year of maintenance. However, despite an investment of 18.48 lakh on each, the entire setup failed within a year of installation.

These e-toilets have been out of order for the past five years, reflecting the negligence of the PMC and how civic bodies waste public money.
