Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 201 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by deleting the words “by public advertisement, in at least two newspapers of nationwide circulation:” and substituting therefor the words “through appropriate mechanisms including public advertisement in at least two newspapers of nationwide circulation and an announcement in a radio station of local coverage for a period of two weeks:”. This is just to bring some public participation into effect. Before, only the newspapers were in nationwide circulation. However, we are also proposing an announcement in a radio station of local coverage for a period of at least two weeks. Newspapers do not reach everywhere but if we use the local radio within a specific area, most of the locals will get that information and increase the public participation."}
