Dear Jacky,

>Q. How far is the refugee camp from the site of the latrine-cum-digester?

The nearest refugee camp (Sanischared) is located at about 1 km. from the site of the latrine-cum-digester.

>Q.     How many of the Bhutanese refugees use the latrine?

As each refugee household is provided with a Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP) latrine inside the camp, they need not visit the latrine installed at about 1 km away at Pathari.

Best regards.
