Cutting across party lines, members in the Lok Sabha today expressed serious concern over the floods and drought situation in the country. They also wanted a set criteria for allocation of funds for dealing with such situations. Initiating the debate, BJP member Navjyot Siddhu suggested that the government should come out with a time-bound policy on water conservation and related issues. He regretted that there is no long term plan to tackle the floods and droughts in the country. Anu Tandon of the Congress said that water management should come under one ministry and it should be included in the Union list. Some members suggested separate budgets to deal with water management.
