    • Hon. (Dr.) Hiniduma Sunil Senevi - Minister of Buddhasasana, Religious and Cultural Affairs JJB

      AI summary Hon. (Dr.) Hiniduma Sunil Senevi responded to a Standing Order 27(2) question regarding Tissa Viharaya in Thyiddy, Valikamam North, stating that the site is not registered and that land ownership must be verified. He said no land acquisition process or Gazette notification has been issued under the Land Acquisition Act, and that the matter primarily falls under the Ministry of Lands, requiring coordination with his Ministry. He noted that the President, ONUR, the Justice Ministry, and a committee chaired by Vijith Rohan Perera are involved in ongoing efforts to address the issue, which he described as complex due to questions over registration and multiple sites bearing the same name.
