- 1. Jogeshwari, Mumbai Community Composition: Marwaris, Maharashtrians and Muslims . Extremely heterogenous population. Sanitation Situation: There were 2 toilets almost a few meters across each other. One was a toilet built by SPARC 5 years ago but maintained by a very rich Marwari trader community, and the other one which is recently built (by another local councilor) but looks much older and worn out than the merchant toilet adjacent to it. Top Reasons to Choose This Location/Unique Aspects: 1. The merchant toilet is well maintained and much better equipped as compared to the new toilet as they mandal that takes care of it pumps in extra money for its betterment. 2. It will be interesting to see which toilets the resident use and what their motivations are behind using it.
