Guwahati: The Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) is all set for a major economic boost in 2025. Mayor Mrigen Sarania shared that the construction of community toilets, clubs, temples and libraries will take place in every ward by 2025 during an interview with Business North East (BNE).
"In each ward, 5 to 6 community toilets will be built, totalling 300 across Guwahati. In 2024, one community hall per ward was established. This year, Rs 20 lakh will be allocated to each ward for constructing 2, 3, or 4 community toilets, depending on the ward's requirements. These toilets should be built within a distance of 180 to 200 yards," Mrigen Sarania told BNE.
