A reputed public policy institute has sought to raise the pitch on safe sanitation by asking political parties to include the goal in their manifestos for the April-May Lok Sabha elections.
Ahead of the polls, the city-based Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) has come out with several suggestions under 'Right to Safe Sanitation for All and At All Times,' stressing the need to take measures to ensure safe and total sanitation by 2024.
ASCI Director V Srinivas Chary said though India has made significant progress in enhancing access to toilets through provision of individual household latrines, public toilets and community toilets to make urban local bodies open defecation free, "sanitation is more than just building toilets."
