When Talo Potom, Deputy Commissioner of Capital  Itanagar, reached the spot he found that a public toilet is being used by the people which is above the stairs and below the stairs, this alleged pan shop is being built there.
 
Deputy Commissioner Talo Potom while talking to the media denied the allegation of encroachment on the Government-funded public toilet and further said that due to the displacement of the inauguration stone signboard whole confusion was created.
 
“The public toilet is functioning properly for both male and female separately but it's in dilapidated condition. As the toilet is above the shop behind the complex the wrong placement of inauguration stone hoarding created the hue and cry that public toilet got encroached”, DC said. 
 
Talking exclusively to IndiatodayNE, the female contractor of the public toilet informed that the public toilet was made in this daily market and is being used properly but as it is above the shop and inside the complex, the contribution of the MP Kiren Rijiju was not displayed properly.
