Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you approve Sen. Khaniri’s request, I would ask that the statement be enriched. Do we have people who have been trained to handle this specialized equipment in these counties?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for explaining to my neighbour and friend, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I want to agree that it looks like Sen.
