    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no objection to the amendment if it is based on science. I had said \"quarterly\" because I was looking at the pyrethrum-based residual insecticides, whose longevity is about three-and-a-half months. If the Minister assures us that they can actually get other insecticides that last six months to one year, then, indeed, that \"quarterly\" could become sort of an encumbrance rather than a help. In that case, then it will be worthwhile to delete \"quarterly\" and leave it open, so that we can use whatever insecticides that would be available. However, this should be done sustainably and continuously. I remember I mentioned that when we do it piecemeal, we are risking developing resistance in mosquitoes. So, if we are going to do it, for example, in Rachuonyo and not in the neighbouring district, we might develop resistance in mosquitoes. This is something that we need to look at scientifically. If we do it in one district and create resistance in mosquitoes, then it will not be of much help. In fact, we will have to keep on changing the insecticide that we use. This becomes very expensive. On that basis, I support the amendment."
