Answer 2

As per law providing basic amenities is compulsory and a government project needs to follow every rule set by law and hence this must have been included in the plan. So we need to modify the plan and provide the bathroom and also we cannot claim extra funds for this as the budget provided to us include all the basic amenities. As per the National Disability Authority , disabled individuals need to be given with specially designed toilets with specified dimensions and all these must be provided in public buildings such as libraries and schools and they are as a part of the funds provided by government. So the plan need to be modified and include the bathroom in the first floor making sure we follow the rules and also we need to adjust the budget provided and utilize it.
