Eg, Nuke power plant issue would superficially appear as environment/yearbook but can be well asked from Centre-State relations point of view. Ganga/Yamuna clearing would appear as environment topic but can be asked under Centre-State responsibilities in Water management also. Same goes for scams like 2G Scams, mining scams and so on.
