In terms of sanitation coverage across the country, Mr Puri said that about 2,133 cities and urban local bodies have been certified as ODF and 2,679 cities have self-declared themselves as ODF and await certification. The government’s target was to construct 67 lakh toilets and as of May 16 over 53 lakh toilets have been constructed, the minister said.
