KANPUR: Along the strains of `dhol-nagada' gang, Kanpur municipal corporation (KMC) has now armed women staff with `lathis' to curb open defecation.
The gangs will beat lathis on roads and make noise if they come across somebody defecating in open.
The officers of KMC mentioned that `dhol', `nagara' teams comprising male staff and drummers have already been formed. "We are getting positive results with the initiatives. Now, each wards of the city will have lathi-weilding gangs of women, who will beat `lathis' on roads to make people ashamed of their act. We plan to make the city ODF," municipal commissioner Avinash Singh mentioned.
"We have identified such places in 110 wards of the city, where people go to attend the nature's call, garbage dumping sites, rail tracks and abandoned private and government structures and school fields. The women gang members are deputed at such places between 4am and 8am," a KMC respectable mentioned. Local residents and social volunteers have also been made a part of the initiative, who will make conscious other folks against the risk and also inform them about its harms.
The women staff will be felicitated. New bogs would even be constructed at those places.
