Salman Khan joins hands with BMC to start mobile toilets in Mumbai

Salman Khan is known for his very broad philanthropy. The actor met Mumbai municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta on Saturday and accepted the Bombay Municipal Corporation's proposal to become its brand ambassador against open defecation. Salman has also decided to donate five state-of-the-art mobile toilets for the campaign in Bandra, where the resident 'Sultan' lives.

The toilets will be installed in various parts of the city for slum dwellers and homeless migrants. Yuva Sena chief Aditya Thackeray was present at the meeting. "Having a strong following and being a popular actor, Salman's support in terms of providing five mobile toilets throughout the city would help us reduce cases of open defecation," said Ajoy Mehta.

Salman, who animates Swacch Bhaarat Abhiyaan on social networks and who has been known to transform clean villages during the filming of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', said: "In a megacity like Mumbai, this seems very inconvenient to find people defecating in open. Best effort to tell them to end this practice. "

Mobile toilets will be called "Bhai Ke Baths" to encourage people to stop defecating in the open air. "People will be told that Salman Bhai has donated baths to use them, which will be promoted as Bhai ke baths, and with this, we hope people will start using them," said a senior BMC official.
