The villagers said that many families in the village are not financially able to build toilets at their own expense, but the toilets that were built for them after receiving permission from the government, were built incomplete. You didn’t even install a toilet seat. Panchayat representatives forgot to put the sheet after constructing the toilet. Toilets have not been constructed in their houses, villagers Kaluram, Satrupabai, Pemin Bai, Urmilabai, Anita Bai, Ankaluram, Agasiya Bai, Shivkumar, Devki Bai, Dhanesh and others said that their toilets have not been constructed till date. While everyone wants toilets to be built under the Swachh Bharat Mission, a scheme of the Government of India. But due to the arbitrariness of the panchayat the toilet was not built. Because of this the villagers are still forced to defecate in the open. The villagers said that strict action should be taken after investigating the actions of the Deputy Sarpanch, who is stopping the pace of development and depriving the beneficiaries of basic facilities.
