The SDM has launched a campaign on the occasion of Karwa Chauth under which he has urged residents to post a ‘#KarwaChauth selfie’ and the people in his jurisdiction whoever posts a selfie will stand a chance to get a toilet built at their home, if their photo is selected.
Going by the reports, in an official communication, Yadav said that the residents should send their selfies to Sambhal District Panchayat Officer, Executive Officer officer, Municipal Corporation and Block Development officer.
