Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, upon learning that the project was proceeding irregularly, I immediately ordered a temporary halt pending inquiry. Subsequently, considering community needs, we directed that only the essential works to provide supply to the villagers be carried out. Going forward, we will ensure such situations do not recur; we will not permit politically-driven irregular provision of power.
