Lahan, Dec 2: The Lahan Municipality in
an unprecedented injunction today warned the town denizens that they would be
deprived of every service except the emergency services from mid December if
they fail to construct toilets at their houses.
The Municipality will distribute
identity cards to those who have constructed toilets and those failing to
comply with the order would be deprived of every other service except the
emergency services from mid December, said Krishna Karki, Executive Official at
the Municipality.
The Municipality started distributing
identity cards for confirmation of having a toilet from Ward No. 7 on the
occasion of the World Toilet Day that fell on 19 November. The Municipality has
already distributed identity cards at Ward No. 7, 2 and 9, according to Karki.
Karki added that town residents in all
the ten wards of the municipality would be provided with the identity cards
within mid-December.
The Municipality plans to make the town
area free of open defecation in one and a half years for which it is
collaborating with the Ward Civil Forum, Civil Awareness Centre and various
youth clubs to organize interaction programmes, street dramas and household
programmes to raise awareness on toilet construction and sanitation. RSS
