No Toilet, No Food! 13-Year-Old Girl Goes On 2-Day Fast To Get Washroom Made At School

A Class VII girl got a toilet built at her house in Talur village of Siruguppa taluk in Ballari district after she refused to eat or drink until it was constructed. H Mahankali heard of the importance of having a toilet at home at an awareness programme organised by the gram panchayat. She has now been named the icon of the village.

The 13-year-old girl studies at the government school in the village. A toilet had been allotted to her family in 2015-16, but nothing came of it.

After attending the awareness programme in the first week of February, Mahankali returned home and refused food and water until her parents agreed to build a toilet. Her parents tried to reason with her, saying exams were near and going hungry may make her fall sick. Mahankali, however, persisted for two whole days without eating.
