The Bihar legislative Assembly Wednesday August 05,2015 passed a legislation incorporating a
provision making it mandatory for candidates contesting panchayat polls
in Bihar to have toilets at their houses.
The provision has been incorporated in the Bihar Panchayat Raj (Amendment) Bill, 2015 which was passed by the Assembly by a voice vote amid ruckus created by the opposition BJP members.
"It has been noted that people in rural areas, including women, have to go in open areas to relieve themselves due to lack of toilets at their households which lead to pollution," State Panchayati Raj minister Vinod Prasad Yadav said outlining the objectives for the amendment in the bill.
The candidates desiring to contest panchayat polls from January 21, 2016, must have toilets at their households
