subiect to limit of 8 75 lakhs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees , in exchange for their interest m Mirjawa-Duzdap
section while °ift to Persia of latter section will fall entirely on India. More-
over in event of Nushki-Mirjawa section proving a failure and being scrapped
then in exchange for break-up value of Mirjawa-Duzdap section, namely, ^75
lakhs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees Treasury will receive one-fifth of break-up value of Nushki-Mirjawa
section, viz., at least 5*87 lakhs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees . Should it prove a success Treasury will receive
8-75 lakhs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees . Second proviso is therefore obviously inequitable and we press
strongly for its withdrawal.
