¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, while not directly related to the main Question, the Hon. Member has raised a timely point. Often our attention is drawn to sectors only after an incident occurs. The matter is important. I discussed this yesterday with my Ministry Secretary in precisely this manner. Where interventions within our subject purview are required, we will intervene, and we will also seek support and guidance from the Ministry of Transport and Highways and other relevant entities as needed. Thank you.
