Sallu Wants To Make Open Defecation-Free Mumbai?:- Bollywood Superstar, Salman Khan has joined forces with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and ‘I love Mumbai’ foundation to make the city an open defecation free.
Sallu indeed has become a part of The Clean India mission. Yesterday, the residents of the Madras Pada, Aarey Milk colony area were handed over public utility toilets to combat its open defecation problem. This was done by the Superstar himself, along with BMC chief Ajoy Mehta, and powered by Rahul Kanal’s ‘I love Mumbai’ foundation, Sahib Realty and Sach Ishaan.
Salman said “It feels good, but it is just a beginning. I think there are 3,000-plus houses where each house has six to eight people. So as many existing toilets were there, we just rebuilt them and gave them water connection.”
“There were only 36 toilets, in 3,000 plus houses. So there is a lot of scope. We will get permission to make toilets in their houses, given that they have space in their houses.”
Mehta expressed his gratitude to Salman, who also paid for the utility toilets from his own pocket.
For the BMC’s anti-open defecation campaign last year, Salman was named as the ambassador in tune with the Centre’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ Mission.
