As the country observed World Toilet Day on Sunday, biggest toilet pot model in the world was unveiled at Marora, popularly known as the ‘Trump village’, in Haryana. The development came in response to improve sanitation facilities across the country.
With a population of 1,800, Marora in Mewat region was named as 'Trump village' in June by NGO Sulabh International Social Service Organisation in a gesture to US president Donald Trump ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Washington.
However, the move to rename the village was termed as 'illegal' by the Nuh district administration that led to the removal of boards mentioning the new name.
