PORVORIM: Siolim MLA Delilah Lobo today brought attention to the poor condition of the Sulabh restroom at Vagator. Only after we objected at the tourism department was it fixed. When was the last time this toilet was inspected?
In response, Minister of Tourism Rohan Khaunte stated that Vagator currently has three restrooms. The MLA has expressed her belief that public restrooms ought to be accessible.
Since the restroom is 500 meters from the beach, it is “impractical” for visitors to go there. In the past two weeks, we have examined the Sulabh restroom in response to the MLA’s complaint.
According to Khaunte, the department will now fix the toilet that has been provided to a private player since 2013. The signer of the lease deed has vanished from sight.
According to Lobo, the organization responsible for toilet maintenance is overcharging. The notice regarding the charges ought to be put up outside.
“We will display the rates outside,” Khaunte declared. Call the Helpline 1364 to report someone who is overcharging, and the department will take immediate action.
