Swachh Bharat Mission secretary cleans toilet pit
Aiming to promote twin-pit composting toilets as low-cost sanitation solutions, several bureaucrats, led by Swachh Bharat Mission secretary Parameswaran Iyer, took up cleaning exercise in Telangana. Iyer himself got down into one of the pits and removed the waste. The twin-pit system consists of two holes that are dug up and cemented, and are gradually filled with faecal matter.
