Apart from 5 safai karmis, the rath will also have adequate cleaning equipments/materials, pamphlets for spreading awareness regarding Swachh Bharat Mission, open defecation and a feedback form. During the inspection, if the toilets in the schools and anganwadis are found dirty, then the sanitary staff will first make sure that it gets cleaned immediately. Secondly, a feedback form will be filled by them indicating faults in toilets there which will later be given to district’s “ODF war-room”, that will ensure that the violators take corrective action within 7 days.

He further added,

Shame letters will also be issued to Pradhan, Secretary and Principal of the schools specifying that they should immediately take the adequate action or face penal action.

After the flag off, CM Yogi Adityanath also distributed special kits to mahila-nigrani samiti and baal-nigrani samiti of the district. Children were provided with hooters with mike and siren facility, whistles, trek suits and caps. Whereas, women of mahila-nigrani samiti were provided with saree, apron and caps.

Within the total 760 gram panchayat in Varanasi, each one has 10 women in mahila-nigrani samiti, 10 children in bal-nigraani samiti and 10 men in purush-nigraani samiti. Together they ensure that no one with toilet goes outside to defecate in the open in their areas.
