Keonjhar: Amid allegations of irregularities in housing schemes, here is an instance of a widow and her four children living in a toilet made under Swachh Bharat Mission at Ranki under Keonjhar block.
Reports said, after death of Raibari Munda’s husband, she with her four minor daughters has taken shelter inside a toilet.
She alleged that she was worn out by running from pillar to post for seeking a housing unit.
