The Punjab government has launched a scheme to construct toilets and washroom in every home in Rawalpindi rural areas to discourage open defecation and spilling of human waste.
A district wash committee (DWC) headed by EDO Finance Muhammad Munawar Anjum has been formed to implement the project.
Anjum said that the scheme aimed at curbing diseases caused by open defecation and human waste.
In the first phase, the scheme has been launched in villages of Chak Beli Khan, Chakri and Adiala. Punjab government will provide funds to deserving families to construct toilets and washrooms in their homes.
