PANAJI: The government has now set its sights on March 31 to make Goa open defecation-free ( ODF ), given that it is about to miss the December 31 deadline. A survey it had conducted pointed to a requirement of 52,883 toilets for rural households and 3,336 for those in municipal areas. Sometimes, tenants are even discouraged from using toilets as landlords add a condition that more charges will be applicable for such a facility. Given their constrained finances, this sector has no choice but to make do with whatever accommodation comes their way. Such leasing is a lucrative business as it caters to the influx of migrants who cater to the demand for domestic and construction workforce.
