Abhayapuri Residents Question Years-Long Closure of Public Bio-Toilets

Residents of Abhayapuri in Assam’s Bongaigaon district have expressed anger over several public bio-toilets constructed by the municipal board that have reportedly remained locked and unused for the past five to six years despite significant public expenditure.

Locals allege that the facilities have never been opened for public use and are now lying neglected amid overgrown vegetation. They have accused the authorities of wasting public funds and demanded that the toilets be made functional or that an explanation be provided for their prolonged closure.
