Girl insists on a toilet at her in-laws’ house before wedding

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi having issued a call for “Swachh Bharat” Abhiyan, a newly-wed girl has insisted that there be a toilet in her in-laws' house, placing basic sanitation needs much ahead of jewellery and other wedding presents.

Those who attended a marriage at Andura village in Balapur tehsil of Akola district were surprised to see a new item on display, along with other usual household articles which form part of the articles given by parents/relatives of the bride to her during the wedding.

Standing tall along with other items was a toilet. The prefabricated toilet with a water closet, a wash-basin and mirror standing around one foot above the ground, was the cynosure of all eyes at the event.
