Residents of Uppal’s Southend in Gurgaon have placed three mobile toilets for the use of guards and domestic helps who work in the flats and the complex. The main aim of this move is to dissuade them from using open plots in the neighbourhood for nature’s calls and use these hygienic toilets instead. This also helps the RWA maintain the residential complex clean.
The sprawling residential complex spread over 110 acres, the colony has 250 houses and has some 200 maid servants frequenting every day. At any given point of time there are 50 guards living in and around the complex and nearby villages of Ghasola and Badshahpur. Since all of them are part-timers, they do need toilets for use during work hours.
Two of the three mobile toilets are stationed in S Block and the other close to Sai Dham temple.
“We come from our homes in the morning and go back only in the evening, after working in several houses. These toilets are a big relief,” says Chaaya Devi who works in W block. There is adequate water in pitchers kept alongside the toilets which can be used to clean them.
“For ladies, the toilets were required. Now even gents also use these toilets” said Jile Singh, estate Officer.
Speaking to City Spidey, Bhagat Singh Yadav, president of the RWA, said, “This initiative was important to provide maids with decent toilets. It helps us keep the sector clean too.”
