The poor sanitation in the 3,500 slums in the city directly impacts the general population too. In order to stop the spread of water-borne diseases across classes, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) authorities are planning to replace the existing 4,000 pit or well latrines in the slums permanently with sanitary latrines. The proposal, which awaits government nod, will cost the civic exchequer around Rs. 30 crore. But the KMC bosses are hopeful that in the long run it will result in good health for the residents of an AI grade metro such as Kolkata. hindustantimes/India-news/kolkata/KMC-plans-sanitation-makeover-of-Kolkata-slums/Article1-1118237.aspx
