Sulabh International founder Bindeshwar Pathak on Saturday called the Dumka suicide incident as tragic and said it shows that it is tough for women to manage without a toilet in the house.
Pathak was referring to a suicide by a minor girl in Dumka, Jharkhand, after her parents refused to build a toilet in their house.
"This is a tragic incidence, difficult to describe. It shows how tough it is for women without a toilet in the house. The girl kept on insisting to get a toilet built. The father should have taken her demand seriously," Pathak told ANI.
