K. Mishra, the Chairperson, said that the toilets constructed as part of Swachch Bharat Mission were expected to help in the eradication of manual scavenging. But these also suffer from several shortcomings. According to the National Annual Rural Sanitation Survey 2019-20, only 27.3 percent of the toilets surveyed have a double leach pit; 1.1 percent goes into a sewer while all others empty into some form of a septic tank or single pits which requires manual cleaning.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Mr Justice P.C Pant, Member, NHRC, said that the toxicity of the society in the
