The Hon. Sujeewa Dissanayake
Hon. Sujeewa Dissanayake raised a supplementary question on the Deduru Oya right bank canal project in the Polpithigama DS Division. He said residents allege that water connections intended for GNDs 201, 202, 204 and 205 were instead provided to GNDs 333, 334, 335, 344 and 345, possibly due to bias linked to past land disputes, and asked for the total expenditure incurred on the project so far.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My first supplementary: Along the Deduru Oya, there are left and right bank canals. On the right bank, within Polpithigama DS Division, a letter from the Divisional Secretary referring to the Multi-People’s Organization “Gajaneggama” indicates that although GNDs Nos. 201 Balagollagama, 202 Panwewa, 204 Ambagaswewa and 205 Gajanegama were to be supplied, instead connections were given to GNDs 333, 334, 335, 344 and 345. Residents allege bias because of historic land issues like the “Welangollawatta” estate dispute. What is the total expenditure incurred so far on this project?
