Betul : A 20-year-old woman, who left her husband about a year-and-half ago demanding a toilet facility, has been made Betul's 'Swachhata Doot' (cleanliness ambassador).
"We have made Seema Patel the district 'swachhata doot' under Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Work of constructing a toilet at her husband's place has also started. We are also going to felicitate her for her extraordinary courage," Betul collector Gyaneshwar B Patil told PTI.
He said that Seema's action will give a fillip to the Prime Minister's flagship campaign.
She had returned to her maternal house at Piparia town in Hoshangabad in January last year saying that she will return to her in-laws place only after a toilet was build.
The counselling centre member Rajani Gaikwad took a dim view of the matter and after going through it last week, asked Mohan to build a toilet within a month.
Before Seema, Betul district's Anita Narre, a tribal woman of Chichouli village also left her husband in 2011 for want of toilet facility.
Narre was also honoured by former President Pratibha Patil in 2011.
