In 15 months, 66 children from a slum cluster in the Capital never returned from a forested area nearby where they had gone to answer the call of nature. There is not a single toilet for the 500 families at Shahbad Dairy, forcing every resident to rush to the adjacent forest to defecate, where children and women become vulnerable to criminal attacks. Overcome by fear, residents have even stopped feeding their children after sunset. The Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB), which manages public lavatories in the national capital, said the area would get a toilet. It didn’t say when. Until then, Shahbad Dairy will have to make-do with crime-riddled forest.
