The Hon. (Dr.) (Ms.) Kaushalya Ariyarathne
Hon. (Dr.) (Ms.) Kaushalya Ariyarathne responded that concerns regarding Eravur, including water supply and effluent treatment, had been raised and explained at the COPF meeting. She said the relevant Member had not attended or conveyed concerns in advance, and urged Members to participate in such meetings or notify the Committee when agenda items affect their districts rather than raising those issues later in the Chamber.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will respond briefly.
¶ 02 Regarding Eravur, you did not attend the COPF meeting—nor inform us. Had you participated, we could have discussed your concerns at length. I specifically raised water supply and effluent treatment, knowing you had previously asked. We were given clear explanations. I believe you receive the agenda; when a matter affects your district, at least attend or inform us of your concerns so we can address them fully at the meeting. You are now using this time for matters that should have been taken up there.
