Sir
Thank you for refining this application. Please help me include the following issues too
1) For issue 6, I would also prefer to have the evacuation plan that they have developed. If I am not wrong, this is not getting reflected in the present format
2) For issue 4, if I am not wrong they have not issued any tablets. The ideal response from the government would be “we will distribute in the case of an accident”. However, there would be too much of chaos and I am interested to know how soon the government will distribute them. Also, these tablets need to be distributed in a very short time. That is why I raised the issue of stock and response time. Please help me include this.
Thanks a ton for your help
