If the Urban Development Ministry had its way, cities across the country would have detailed sanitation strategies ready in the next two years. The Ministry with funds to the tune of र 50,000 would help the cities implement their strategies through the public-private partnership (PPP) route. The dictum is part of the national urban sanitation policy which targets open defecation-free cities and advocates community planned and managed toilets wherever possible and solutions for disposal to enable recycling of waste.
