    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I would like to commend the Petition that has been brought by Mr. Gaya. When the Committee is considering this Petition, they should consider two matters. The first one is an issue to do with over-investment in the centre. Sixty years after Independence, we should not be talking about some areas being hardship areas. Secondly, the Committee should also make recommendations on which State agency should take up this matter because the zoning of hardship areas should not just be limited to far- flung areas. There is something called urban poverty. Hardship areas in urban areas are even worse than hardship areas in those far-flung areas. Even as this matter goes to the Committee, I pray that they will look at this issue through these two lenses and make a proposal on which State agency should do this zoning and what considerations they should make. Second, it is the fact that these hardship issues are coming up because we are over-investing at the centre. Thank you for allowing me opportunity to contribute to this Petition."
