Issues of public importance like conversion issue, bringing back black money stashed away abroad, impact of natural calamities and dilution of MGNREGA were also taken up.

A special discussion was also held on the threat of plastics and problems relating to Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.

The Speaker also referred to introduction of 68 non-official bills and discussion on Private Members'
