The Hon. (Dr.) Susil Ranasinghe
Dr. Susil Ranasinghe stated that there is widespread uncertainty regarding lands administered by the Land Reform Commission across its 18 regional offices, including whether assigned projects are operating and whether lands have been encroached upon. He said discussions have been held with the LRC and a programme is being prepared to verify land status, assess project activity, identify encroachments, and regularize the relevant matters.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 In general, there is confusion over lands tied to the LRC across many districts with 18 regional offices. For some lands, the LRC lacks clear, up-to-date information on whether projects are active or lands are encroached. We have discussed with the LRC and are preparing a programme to verify whether assigned projects are functioning, whether lands have been encroached, and to regularize matters. We will proceed under that programme.
