476 girls studying in a Telengana polytechnic lack proper toilets in their campus


There are 476 girls studying in a Technical Training Institute at Ameerpet that offers four diploma courses -- architecture assistantship, civil engineering, computer engineering and electronics and communications engineering. Unfortunately, they do not have any proper toilet facilities and have to go out in the open or seek out secluded spots to attend to calls of nature.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 24 February 2016.
The institute is 40-years old and, apart from toilet facilities, it is also plagued by the absence of labs and equipment. The college principal has admitted to the pitiable condition of the toilets that has deteriorated over time due to the lack of maintenance. It seems the building is slated for demolition, hence this lack of toilet facilities is seen as a temporary arrangement. A new building is apparently under construction right behind the present campus but, its completion is uncertain because of "lack of government funds".
A former head of department of architecture from the college had, in November, sent a letter to the Telangana chief minister, K Chandrasekhar Rao, and the state women and child welfare department - but he has not yet received any response.
