The Hon. Nalin Bandara Jayamaha
Nalin Bandara Jayamaha clarified that Bingiriya was highlighted because it currently has available land, while other industrial zones may serve different sectoral purposes. He asked for the identified locations and timelines for the five new zones mentioned, and emphasized Bingiriya’s suitability for port- and airport-linked, coconut-based, and wet-processing industries. He requested ministerial attention to the need for sea outfall and water infrastructure and urged an early visit to Bingiriya to expedite support.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 To clarify, I did not mean only Bingiriya matters; rather, it is presently the main site with available land. Thank you for the response. My second supplementary: you mentioned five new zones. Which locations are identified, and what is the timeframe? Zones have different profiles—Hambantota for port-centric industries; Bingiriya is 70 km from Colombo, suited for port/airport-linked and coconut-based industries, with a US$ 48 million large factory now underway. For wet operations, the sea outfall and water are essential. I request you to visit Bingiriya soon and expedite support.
