CHENNAI, NOV 23: On the day the discussion on the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) budget was to be taken up in the Assembly, there was power disruption in the House for about five seconds.On Monday, the discussion on the non-supply of coarse variety of rice at Rs 2 per kg in public distribution system outlets had just ended and members of the Tamil Maanila Congress and a few other opposition parties who had walked out crowded the lobby. When the power link snapped, a few whistles could be heard in the lobby. A visibly irritated Speaker P T R Palanivelrajan said, ``Members who have walked out must conduct themselves with dignity.''
