All these 179Families have access to Family pit latrines and they don't have need for emergency bath and latrinefacilities.There is no need for construction of emergency latrines and baths so there is no recommendation for Sanitation part only there is need for HE messages for their latrines and bath using.

(D) Solid Waste Management:

There is no need for waste water management and all of these families are living in good natural drain off area.There is a need for wastecollection bags and transport domestic collected waste to safe dumping area.
