Mr. Speaker Sir, I am really grateful to the Members who participated in the debate. / The discussion on the demand of the Ministry took place for more than 8 hours. // During the debate, very important issues were raised and suggestions were made. "Though the /// debate was serious, it was to some extent delightful too. The issues raised and the suggestions made were many and as many as 52 Members spoke. Suggestions were made / by some Members regarding the nationalisation of rivers, the subject of water to be kept // in the current list of the development, the formation of a national water grid and /// criteria for deciding whether a river basin is a surplus or a deficit basin. Some hon'ble Members suggested that there should be a ban for 5 years in the major / and medium irrigation projects and only the potential that has been created should be utilised // and all efforts should be made in that direction. There were many other things which /// the hon'ble Members referred to in regard to their towns. Mostly they referred to the general issues.
