The Delhi gov ernment will soon to take up an integrated sanitation scheme in the city to ensure that all people get the minimum standard of hygiene and do not go in the open for their toilet needs. The Delhi Cabinet will soon give its nod to a proposal to adopt the integrated sanitation scheme under the national rural sanitation scheme to give subsidy of Rs 6,000 to the people taking sewer connections for their areas. The government will soon commission a survey to identify the places where open latrines are in existence which, as per the preliminary report, have been found to be 112. "An NGO will be assigned to find their numbers and their locations. All of them will be closed down immediately as the dry latrine are getting mixed with the drains which later flow into the Yamuna, thus contributing to the already high level of pollution in the river," said a senior official. He added that most of such open dry latrine are in existence in the east Delhi areas, which has the maximum concentration of the jhuggi clusters. "The MCD will be the nodal agency to implement the integrated scheme and the Delhi government would supervise its work. The city government will provide an assistance of Rs 6,000 for the new sewer connection," added the official. The Union urban development ministry, in its circular to the government, had asked for the immediate closure of the open dry latrine and implementation of the sanitation scheme. The official added that the proposal which has been prepared in consultation with the Union urban development ministry and the MCD will soon be put up to the Delhi Cabinet.
