Kerala to be declared open defecation-free on Nov 1
The Kerala Cabinet has decided to declare the state as open defecation-free on its formation day on November 1. The Cabinet plans to invite PM Narendra Modi to attend the state-level function to be held in Thiruvananthapuram. This comes as the state government is constructing over 1.90 lakh toilets across the 941 grama panchayats under its sanitation programme.
