Press Note: Aam Admi Party Quepem Subject: Toilets Survey as initiated by Government
Reacting to the recent declaration by Government to undertake individual household toilet survey through DRDA, the AAP Quepem coordinator said that the intervention of AAP has woken up the government. Mrs. Patricia Fernandes said that People from 23 villages in Quepem taluka were suffering for the last 20 years although they were promised toilets during every election. However it’s during AAP Door to Door campaign that the Dirty picture came to light and in disgust the people confided with AAP and the AAP Goa Women Front took the issue and submitted petition to South Goa Collector at Margao along with the women from tribal villages of Sanguem, Canacona and Quepem. AAP will closely monitor along with the people the ground realities of this announcement made by the government as it might turn out to be another “Jhumla”. AAP women front was instrumental in awaking the Local MLA of Quepem who has reportedly inaugurated the work of construction of 219 Sulabh toilets after AAP submitted petition to South Goa Collector on 14 November. AAP is happy that due to their intervention the Local MLA himself acknowledged that there is need 219 for toilets after being elected from Quepem for 4 terms. AAP will monitor all these claims made by the politicians and expose them as with ground realities. AAP is committed for the welfare of the people and will not leave any stone untouched to enable them to avail all facilities they are entitles to.
