The Transplantation Of Human Organs

The Transplantation Of Human Organs (Amendment) Bill, 2011

Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am happy that the hon. Minister has covered almost all the critical points by bringing forward the Transplantation of Human Organs (Amendment) Bill, 2011. In addition to that, our hon. experienced Members have covered almost all the points. Hopefully, the hon. Minister will consider those points. We all are aware that this Bill has come into existence mainly because of our great scientists’ success about human organ transplantation, which is very critical and important to maintain certain quality assurance. I, personally, feel that instead of saying this as Authorisation Committee or Appropriate Authority, if we can make it as a quality assurance and regulatory body, that will be better. I suggest ---some of the Members have also mentioned -- that instead of going by merely certain bureaucrats, proper, credible and qualified people should also be made members. Though, in most of the States, there is a condition that hospitals have to be registered, registration is becoming a mere formality. Instead of that, before registration, hospitals should be vigorously checked about the quality and they should be approved by this Board. That will improve the mortality rate. I also suggest that whoever wants to go for an organ transplantation, they should apply to the Board, if not for permission, at least for the information, so that, subsequently, it could be made mandatory for them to file proper, periodical returns so that at the national level, we can always have proper information about the success rate of human organ transplantation.

Talking of penalties, instead of financial penalties, if the Bill can provide more rigorous punishments such as life imprisonment, it would be better. We are all aware that while we pass Bills, we are not able to execute them properly. For that purpose, proper propaganda must be done in order to create awareness about the rules and procedures involved. That would help the common man understand the procedures better.

Vacancies In The Office Of The Registrar Of Companies

FILLING UP OF VACANT POSTS IN REGISTRAR OF COMPANIES IN HYDERABAD

The Registrar of Companies, Hyderabad, in Andhra Pradesh, was established in the year 1956 with staff strength of 10. After taking over of 600 companies from Nizam, at present, about 72,000 companies are registered with this RoC in Andhra Pradesh. However, the staff strength remained more or less at 1956 level. Though the staff strength has been increased, more than 50 per cent posts are lying vacant with the RoC, Hyderabad, due to resignation or retirement of the employees. As a result, the RoC is facing difficulty in handling its daily operations leading to inconvenience to entrepreneurs and others concerned.

I, therefore, request the Government to issue suitable directions to the concerned authorities to fill up the vacant posts, so that problems of RoC, Hyderabad, could be mitigated.

Protect The Irrigation Projects And Farmers

Take suitable measures to protect the irrigation projects and farmers' interest in Andhra Pradesh in
view of the verdict in Krishna River water dispute

DEMAND TO TAKE SUITABLE MEASURES TO PROTECT THE IRRIGATION PROJECTS AND INTERESTS OF FARMERS OF ANDHRA PRADESH IN VIEW OF VERDICT IN KRISHNA RIVER WATER DISPTUE

Justice-Brijesh- Kumar-lead tribunal (II) was set up about six years ago to decide upon the surplus water sharing of Krishna River among Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka. The tribunal gave its verdict on December 30, 2010. The award given by the tribunal says that about 1001 tic feet water will be given to Andhra Pradesh, 911 tmc feet water to Karnataka and 666 tmc feet to Maharashtra. From the surplus water, Andhra Pradesh will receive 190 tmc feet, Karnataka will have 177 tmc-feet and Maharashtra 81 tmc feet.

The award came as a shock to Andhra Pradesh, as the State will have to be at the mercy of upper riparian State Karnataka; and, it has lost total right over utilization of surplus water. Even though the tribunal indicated 1,001 tmc feet allocation for a State, a study of the award indicates that no safeguards were ensured for utilizing the water. It would be seen that the Tribunal virtually upheld the strongly opposed by Andhra Pradesh.

With this order of the Tribunal, the construction of seven ongoing irrigation projects, including Nettampadu, Galeru_Nagari, Kalwakurthy, Handri-Neva and Veligonda, on the Krishna River would be grounded and agriculture in the State would be severely affected.

I, therefore, urge upon the Central Government to take suitable measures/ steps to save the above said irrigation projects and also protect the interest of the agriculturists of Andhra Pradesh.
