The Sarzora gram sabha on Sunday demanded that the government implement the Open Defecation Free (ODF) scheme free of cost to achieve the objective of cent per cent open defecation free in the state.
At the gram sabha chaired by Sarpanch Sabita Mascarenhas on Sunday, gram sabha members questioned the government’s logic behind charging the households for the ODF toilets, pointing out that toilets were in the past provided free by the previous governments.
Sarpanch Sabita informed that the gram sabha members were clear that the ODF scheme should be implemented to objective of sanitation, adding that the Panchayat body would forward the gram sabha resolution to the Panchayat director for action.
