Public toilet becomes home for civic worker’s family in Belthangady

Belthangady: There’s no place like home, goes a saying. But this may not be true for this Belthangady family who has converted a toilet into his make-shift home.

Bhola Mehta, a Bihar native has been living in a public toilet at Santhekatte in Belthangady since past four years along with his wife and daughter.

Sad but true, the family of three have been cooking, sleeping in the toilet as they did not have access to a housing facility. Ironically Bhola happens to be a civic worker and has been entrusted with the job of cleaning toilets in the Belthangady Town Panchayat limits. Though Bhola had submitted a request seeking basic facilities to the Town Panchayat earlier, it did not yield any result.

Describing his plight Bhola says that in the absence of basic facilities the family is forced to stay in the toilet. He added that the place is full of mosquitoes and his daughter had caught a fever recently.

Meanwhile, it is gathered that MLA Harish Poonja and former MLA K Vasanth Bangera visited the spot and directed the Town Panchayat Chief Officer to make provisions for relocating the family to a building closer to Belthangady bus stand.
