Patro stated that through this process not only the trees will be saved but this is a fast process to get done with the Assembly works.

"We also have the facility of video conferencing facility inside and outside the assembly. We have provided each minister with a system or laptop. We will give training to the ministers as well. No paper will be required so it is an economical means of working," he added.
