FIRST SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION
Sir, from reliable sources I came to know that 28 people died in the detention camps. We came to know that the age group of the people who died is absolutely variable. Sir, most of them died out of apprehension. So what are the preventive measures the Government is taking for this?
SECOND SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTION
