Jharkhand, [HASHTAG]#India[/HASHTAG]: Girl commits suicide after parents refuse toilet in home
Jharkhand: Girl commits suicide after parents refuse toilet in home via @htTweets
A class 12 student allegedly committed suicide on Friday in Jharkhand’s Dumka district after her parents turned down her repeated pleas to construct a toilet at home as they wanted to save money for the 17-year-old’s marriage, police said.
Khushbu Kumari, a resident of Dudhani colony in the town, was found hanging from the ceiling of her room by family members, the police added.
The tragedy underlined a growing awareness on hygiene among the younger generation in the state which has country’s highest rate of open defecation.
The 2011 census had said that 92.4% people in Jharkhand’s rural areas do not have toilets.
In recent times, there have been several instances of women refusing to marry into families who don’t have toilets in their homes, which officials attribute to growing public awareness about the health hazards of open defecation.
Dumka police, quoting Khushbu’s family-members, said that she was pressurising her parents for a toilet in her home as she was fed up and ashamed of defecating in open fields.
“Girl’s parents told her that they couldn’t afford a toilet as they were saving money for her marriage,” said investigating officer Manoj Mishra.
Her father Shripati Yadav is a driver.
“For us marriage was more important. She was demanding a toilet and on Friday we had a heated argument. She was stubborn and ended her life,” said a tearful Sanju Devi, Khushbu’s mother.
Police said that the girl ended her life when her parents were not at home.
“It is a tragic incident as girl’s parents were unaware of the importance of toilets,” said Dumka SP Bipul Shukla.
A government official said that under a government scheme, individuals are provided Rs 4,600 for household toilet construction.
“The parents seemed uninformed,” said a senior sanitation officer requesting anonymity.
A study by the Unicef earlier had identified poor sanitation as a major cause for diseases and deaths among children in the state and also showed how open defecation had a strong correlation with malnutrition (55%) and stunting (47%) among children of the state.

Horrible #toilets. lack of #Hygiene, at #India’s #aerospace show in #Bangalore. #Modi #AeroIndia2017 http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatime...s-about-our-aspiration-to-be-a-leading-power/ … via @TOIOpinion... it didn’t occur to the organisers that these women would need access to clean toilets. There were just under a dozen toilets for women at the show, each afflicted with its own unique problem. Some had no water, toilet paper rolls or soaps; some had too much water on the floor, forcing the users to roll up their trousers or hitch up their sarees before entering, while some demanded a cross-country trek over unpaved ground, difficult to negotiate in heels.
One thing united them all: absolute lack of hygiene. For a show of this level, the organisers had hired local cleaning women to attend to the toilets, instead of professional housekeepers.
This makes a mockery of everything we claim and aspire for at so many levels. Let’s take each level one by one. We claim to be a leading power in Asia; our prime minister asserts that our time has come and the world must take notice; and he is exhorting global industry to come and ‘Make in India’. Yet, at the biggest showcase event, the infrastructure is so abysmal that foreign participants make sympathetic noises while putting India back in the third or the fourth world.

"The overall access to sanitary latrines at household levels is 42% throughout Pakistan"-i.e. 58% of people still defecate in the open in Pakistan.
