- 4 Blocks close to achieving campaign targets
REASI: Almost 90 percent progress has been achieved in the Open Defecation Free campaign in four blocks of district Reasi, resultant of a rigorous month long door to door campaign launched by the District Administration to eradicate this menace. In the four blocks- Reasi, Katra, Panthal and Pouni, the district administration has been conducting regular morning and evening follow ups with the aid of local population.
Measures including several behavior changing tactics are being employed apart from keeping a tight vigil on the people who practice open defecation in their vicinities during these sessions. Daily morning follow ups are held between 4 am to 10 am and evening follow up sessions are taken from 5 pm till late in the evening.
While taking part in follow up sessions, District Development Commissioner Ravinder Kumar said that two key elements to achieve 100% ODF is motivation and education of people along with mass participation of women to keep their surroundings free from open defecation. To further strengthen this ongoing programme, people have constructed toilets in very short time besides frequent meetings and camps are being organized by the administration with working teams and prominent people at district and sector level, he added.
