Bursting ODF ‘myth’: Not all houses have toilets in Delhi

While the five local government bodies in Delhi have all obtained certification of being open-defecation free, the findings of the socio-economic survey raise questions about the veracity of this claim. The survey of 20 lakh households established that there still were 11,497 houses with no sanitation facilities and its members were engaged in open defecation. And contrary to perceptions, most of these households were in urban areas, with just 7.7% of them in rural areas.
