    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Today, I stand a very worried person because of one reason. As our able Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources tables the Report of the Petition, let me say that I am a Member of that Committee. Unfortunately, I was not available to accompany them when our Committee went to the ground, but I have been a frequent visitor to that area. Hon. Speaker, it is sad to note that a Committee works so hard in trying to deliver to the people what is theirs, but there are some rogue people who do not take note of the law. As our Committee was investigating this particular matter, the prayer of this particular Petition was that soil dumping should be stopped. However, by the time we had finished reporting, soil dumping had been completed and people had migrated to that land to make their shanties and so, the situation was out of control. People had abrogated their duties and I did not even see the basis of this Petition. Sometimes, I feel the hands of the Committee are tied. This is because even if we go on the ground, relevant authorities do not take notice of what is supposed to be done. When the Committee on Implementation will go there, they will probably report that the Petition has been overtaken by events. In situations like these, it will need justice to be served to the people. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
