Women participate in 'Lota Daud' in Bhopal
Date: October 13
Location: Bhopal
The lack of proper sanitation facilities still plagues many parts of India.
Unfortunately, even where facilities are available, the battle is on to break a long-ingrained habit.
One village, and the district administration, decided to do something about it.
So, they organised a Lota Daud (people carry lotas, as these tumblers or water pots are known, when they go to the fields/jungle to relieve themselves).
Eighteen women from Phanda village took part in this unique race, whose aim was to discourage defecation in the open.
It was organised by the Bhopal district administration.
"Through this race," said a participant, "we urge our daughters-in-law to avoid open defecation because every household has a toilet now."
