Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. Cherargei for his concern about the welfare of workers and industrialists who are affected by this ban. In my view, it is important that we ask whichever Committee that is going to deal with this to expedite. However, we know that this was caused by people who have not been faithful. Even though there are many people who have been benefiting from this, there are many who vandalize infrastructure.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am basically saying that the people in this sector should also help in the fight against destruction of property. They should also help by not purchasing scrap metals knowing very well that they are from communication or other infrastructures. We know that the losses are huge. The other day, we had blackout all through because some people actually vandalized the high voltage transmission lines, causing wanton destruction. That caused blackout in this City and everywhere in the country.

What I mean is that much as we sympathize, we should also be responsible and watch out for those kind of things. I think the ban was not meant to punish. It was supposed to be temporary until a time when things are sorted out. I hope that the committee responsible will quickly return with the answers. I would say it is a good move that we are concerned about the industry, our young people who are working there and employees of those companies. However, on the other hand, we should also be cautious. I support.
