¶ 01 I do not know about that. According to the minutes, Hon. V.S. Radhakrishnan participated. The rest of the report does not state that he left at that time. The minutes record his participation.

¶ 02 This proposal came at a public meeting with the participation of public representatives. Even so, if there is anything in the proposal that is adverse to the public, we are prepared to consider that and arrive at a more just decision. Thank you very much.
