Members, I have received notices of Adjournment Motion from Jaiprakash Narain ji. The subject is different. It is about heavy rains. Then I have received notices from Shri Tamradhwaj Sahu and Shrimati Ranjeet Ranjan. Their subject is also different. It is about irregularities in the functioning of the PDS and also I have received notices from Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia and Shri K.C. Venugopal regarding some new evidence coming to light in respect of the release of Masrat Alam. All these notices are there. These subjects have already been discussed so many times in the House.
