Kolkata: The Victoria Memorial Hall (VMH) has installed two clusters of bio-toilets at its sprawling campus here as part of its Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan initiative, its curator said here on Wednesday.

These toilets use a waste management technology which reduces solid human waste to biogas and pure water with the help of live bacteria, Jayanta Sengupta, Secretary and Curator of VMH, said in a statement.
