Each facility will have a small kiosk to sell low- cost sanitary pads for women along with provision of an incinerator, and condoms for men,” the policy said. The policy said each facility was to have separate toilets for men, women and Divyangjans with provision of both Indian and Western style commodes in them. “For maintaining the cleanliness of the toilets, three persons -- two sweepers (one male to clean toilets for men and divyangjans and one female for women toilets) and one supervisor -- will be engaged by the agency. Reputed NGOs will be engaged to build and operate the toilets (CSR support from corporates) with a maintenance contract,” it said.
