Open defecation free Delhi: LG Baijal reviews work

Lt. Governor Anil Baijal on Tuesday reviewed the progress of making the city open defecation-free and asked the authorities concerned to work in "mission mode" to achieve the target.

He held a meeting with senior officials of the three municipal corporations and Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB).

"Reviewed progress on steps for Open Defecation Free (ODF) Delhi. Exhorted MCDs & DUSIB to work in mission mode.

Proper hygiene is everyone's right," the Lt Governor tweeted.

Around 10,000 community toilets have been constructed by the Delhi government in the last two years.

Last month, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had reaffirmed that all slum clusters in the city will be made open defecation-free by March next year.
