IEC AND AWARENESS ISSUES<br />

Open Defecation<br />

<strong>CITY</strong> <strong>SANITATION</strong> <strong>PLAN</strong> BAREILLY<br />

The number <strong>of</strong> villages located at the outskirts <strong>of</strong> the city has been merged with Nagar Nigam<br />

Bareilly but over the period <strong>of</strong> time no civic development has taken place in these areas. Most <strong>of</strong> the<br />

households in these areas are not having the provision <strong>of</strong> any kind <strong>of</strong> toilets and maximum people<br />

open defecate in the fields around these localities.<br />

Community Toilets<br />

There are twenty one community toilets in the city mainly located in slum areas. As <strong>of</strong> now these<br />

toilets are not looked after properly and having several inherent problems. In the worst case<br />

scenario these are in dilapidated condition with crumbling building, leaking septic tanks, broken<br />

seats, and broken doors, with no water arrangement and no provision <strong>of</strong> routine upkeep &<br />

maintenance. Such toilets are seen in Jawahar Nagar Bihar Basti, Azam Nagar, Haru Nagla, Gandha<br />

Nala etc. Open defecation sites and garbage dumps in the proximity <strong>of</strong> community toilets are a<br />

common sight. Moreover, it has been noticed that in most <strong>of</strong> community toilets, children are<br />

allowed to use the community toilets. The children accompanying their mothers defecate in and<br />

around the community toilets in open drains. It is essential to classify toilets based on the survey<br />

results to devise a plan <strong>of</strong> action. Broadly, the toilets would need the following measures. In worst<br />

case scenario this may require rebuilding the entire toilets complex. Generally, deteriorating<br />

infrastructure such as cracks in septic tanks, broken seats and doors need to be repaired. Proper<br />

operation and maintenance <strong>of</strong> theses toilets assumes significance in the context <strong>of</strong> promoting toilet<br />

usage. Where the toilets are not maintained properly, people tend to go back to the habit <strong>of</strong> open<br />

defecation. Cleaner and well maintained community toilets will ensure their better usage and in turn<br />

arrest the open defecation habit <strong>of</strong> people. An IEC campaign involving local NGOs and SHGs is<br />

recommended to bring the change in the behavior <strong>of</strong> people.<br />

Commercial Areas<br />

Commercial areas and markets are lacking the provision <strong>of</strong> toilets and urinals. Roads and streets<br />

sweeping is done irregularly by the Nagar Nigam Safai Karamcharis and waste piles up fast on the<br />

roads/streets sides. There is no provision <strong>of</strong> dustbins in the commercial places/markets and the<br />
