As the world celebrates International Women's Day, a group of around 40 women of the city from an NGO have written to the Prime Minister to include the 'right to toilet' as a fundamental right. A city-based non-government organization (NGO) Mahatar Sathi Jagriti Manch motivated women from Chander Nagar and Civil Lines to come together and write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the issue.

Introducing the breathtaking 2016 VernaHYUNDAISays Keemti Rawal, the president of the NGO that works on social issues in the city: "We were really pained to see that women in many areas of Chander Nagar and Civil Lines had to defecate in the open, as they don't have toilets. Apart from making them prone to crime against women, as anti-social elements do target such women, they also suffer from health issues due to dirt in the open. Since the prime minister has brought the focus on cleanliness under the Swach Bharat Abhiyan, we motivated these women to write to the Prime Minister, requesting him to make the right to toilet as a fundamental right. Various judgments of the court in the country have also advocated the need for cheap and easy toilets for all, especially women."
