The error came to notice on 13.8.2007. Action was initiated immediately to rectify the error. The ‘Correcting Statement’ submitted earlier in this regard could not be laid on the Table of the Lok Sabha due to adjournment sine die of the House during the Monsoon Session. Since the Winter Session is continuing and House is scheduled to sit up to 7th December, 2007, the revised reply may be brought to the notice of the House during the current Winter Session. The inconvenience caused is regretted.
