SHRI KODIKUNNIL SURESH (MAVELIKKARA): Hon. Chairperson, thank you for giving me this opportunity to raise a discussion under Rule 193 on the topic `Crop loss due to various reasons and its impact on farmers’. At the outset I would like to submit that the Government has no intent, desire, and genuine concern towards addressing the issues of farmers in the country. The notice I gave for this discussion read -- `Agrarian crisis and farmers’ distress’. The Government did not accept the language in which I submitted my notice for this discussion, instead have formulated the language for the discussion in another way. The Government chose to ignore the topic that would have exposed the failure of the BJP Government to the public. The Government formulated another language which read -- `Crop loss due to various reasons and its impact on farmers’. They have not chosen the straight path but instead have taken a circuitous route to deviate from the core issue. But this anti-farmer and anti-agriculturist attitude of the BJP Government thus stands exposed in this House as the Modi Government is afraid of facing the truth of deeply disturbing agrarian crisis engulfing the country by refusing to address the real concern. The Congress and other like-minded parties decided to raise this issue in this august House.

SHRI M. SELVARAJ (NAGAPATTINAM): Tiruvarur Sorting has been serving 2 districts of Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam under my constituency. As an all India measure, the Ministry of Telecommunications already implemented PNOP and MNOP systems. in the Department of Posts. According to these new systems, the speed and Parcel articles booked at Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam RMS meant for Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam are sent to Mayiladuthurai RMS for processing and again sent to Tiruvarur for further delivery. It creates unnecessary delay in the delivery process. Because of this my constituency people suffer a lot. Sometimes for a local delivery itself, it takes two days.

On the other hand, it has come to notice that the divisional administration of RMS Trichy, planned to downgrade the Tiruvarur Sorting office by reducing the staff strength and working hours. Now staff is working during nights to deliver the letters, parcels and speed posts to the customers. But the divisional administration planned to make it as a Day Set. This will create unnecessary delay in the delivery of all the letters to the public. Earlier the processed parcels and speed articles from Mayiladuthurai RMS came by midnight. But nowadays they are-sent in the early morning only, this also creates one day delay in the delivery of letters.I urge the Government to take remedial steps in this regard.

SHRI A. RAJA (NILGIRIS): Sir, a tragic incident happened in the early hours of Monday, the 2nd December 2019 at Nadoor Village near Mettupalayam Municipality in my constituency. A compound wall constructed by  a private individual had collapsed,  instantly killing 17 Scheduled Castes people, including children. The fact remains that the villagers had on several occasions complained to the district administration and the State Government with regard to the danger posed by the compound wall. The incident led to scores of people, including relatives of the deceased and the members of the pro-Dalit organisations like Tamil Tigers and other political parties protest against the district administration and pressing for reasonable demand to accommodate them inside the Mettupalayam Government Hospital Campus.
