Residents of Lalmonirhat and people coming from surrounding upazilas are facing severe difficulties due to the lack of public toilets. Women, children, the elderly and the sick are especially vulnerable to health risks when facilities are unavailable.
Of the 14 public toilets built by the municipality and the Department of Public Health Engineering, most are locked, abandoned or unsuitable for use. The DPEH constructed nine and the municipality five; many are located inside mosques, Eidgah fields or other government sites and are not open to the public.
Local doctors, engineers and officials have called for renovation of existing toilets, construction of new ones and effective management. They note that the city serves about 158,726 people and receives daily influx from the district’s five upazilas, putting additional strain on sanitation and public health services.
