The Hon. (Mrs.) Oshani Umanga
Oshani Umanga asked the Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development whether new industrial zones are planned in Sri Lanka and, if so, sought details of those plans. She raised concerns about delays faced by investors in obtaining approvals and preparing lease agreements for industries in such zones, and asked what measures would be taken to reduce delays. She also asked whether a linked, streamlined process involving all relevant institutions could be established, and the expected timeframe for doing so.
