New Delhi, Apr 7 (PTI) Bollywood actress Gul Panag today said that like education, sanitation should be made the basic right of every Indian.

“The problem with a country like India is that there is a huge gap between what the system could provide and the requirement of the people,” Panag said.

“Sanitation should be the basic right of every citizen in the country,” she added.

The former Miss India was in the capital to celebrate World Health Day at a function organised by Sulabh School Sanitation Club and Sulabh International Social Service Organisation.

The club aims at contributing to the national priority of improved water and sanitation coverage to schools.

The 31-year-old actress, who is an active supporter of social causes, also met school children and talked to them about the correct ways for personal health and hygiene.
