Consider the information given below and answer the question that follows
MLA 1 In my constituency of Akhandagaon, during the last three weeks, there were 15 deaths because of diarrhoea. I think, it is a shame that this government has not been able to check the situation of a simple problem like diarrhoea while proclaiming itself to be a champion of technology. I would call the attention of the minister in charge of health to take immediate measures to control the situation.
MLA 2 My question is why are government hospitals in such a bad situation? Why is the government not appointing proper doctors and other medical staff in the district? I would also like to know how the government plans to deal with this situation which is affecting a large number of people and is also spreading. This is
an epidemic.
MLA 3 My constituency of Tolpatti too has a serious shortage of water. Women travel up to 3 or 4 kilometres to collect water. How many tankers have been put into service to supply water? How many wells and ponds have been cleaned and disinfected?
MLA 4 I think my colleagues are exaggerating the problem. The government has taken steps to control the situation. Water tankers have been put into service. ORS packets are being distributed. The government is doing everything possible to help people.
MLA 5 We have very poor facilities in our hospitals. There are hospitals that do not have a doctor and no medical staff has been appointed for the last few years. In another hospital, the doctor has gone on a long leave. This is a shame. I think the situation is going from bad to worse, How are we going to ensure that ORS packets
reach all families in the affected areas?

Every state has a Legislative Assembly. Each state is divided into constituencies. For example, Himachal Pradesh is divided into 68 constituencies.
From each constituency, one representative is elected by the people who then become an MLA. Candidates belong to different political parties or may be independent.

They have the responsibility of running various government departments or ministries. They have separate offices, though all the decisions are discussed in the Assembly.
In the Assembly, all the MLAs discuss various things. Thus, some MLAs have dual responsibility: as a MLA and as a Minister.

Current issues are discussed in the Assembly and decisions are taken on various issues.
During this time MLAs can express their opinion and ask questions related to the issue. They may give suggestions about running of the government.
Those who wish can respond to the same. The concerned ministers reply to the questions and assure the assembly about the steps taken by the government about a issue.
