Naxal-hit block becomes open defecation-free
Ambagarh Chowki, a tribal dominated naxal-hit block has become Chhattisgarh's first open defecation-free development block. At least 151 villages of the block with a population of around 1.05 lakh have constructed toilets at home to quit the traditional practice of open defecation. A vigilance committee has also been set up in every village to make people shun the traditional practice.
