Sir, for the very good reasons adduced by Mr. Alladi Krishnaswami Ayyar, I accept his suggestion that we drop “waterways” from item 30. If we retain it there, it would lead to a certain amount of everlapping between items 30 and 31, not to speak of other items relating to waterways in the rest of the list. The actual amendment proposed by him was originally “Highways declared to be such by Federal law”, and we have an amendment moved by Mr. Pataskar that, for the words “Federal highways and waterways” the words “national highways and waterways” be substituted. I have already said that we are omitting “waterways” from this item, but I think it would meet the points of view of both these Honourable Members if I suggest that the item may read as follows : “National highways declared to be such by Federal law.”
