The Hon. Danushka Ranganath
Hon. Danushka Ranganath questioned the reported number of incomplete roads in Kalutara District under the 100,000 km Alternative Roads Programme, noting a discrepancy between the Minister’s figure of 198 and the RDA’s figure of 203. He provided a divisional breakdown, highlighting 94 incomplete roads in Agalawatta, and asked whether halted and impassable village roads could be prioritised for resumption under the “Path to Revival” rural roads programme.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary question: Under the 100,000 km Alternative Roads Programme, you said 198 roads in the Kalutara District remain incomplete. However, the RDA informed me that the number is 203. Be that as it may, the breakdown is Panadura 4, Kalutara 25, Bandaragama 4, Horana 40, Beruwala 14, Matugama 10, Bulathsinhala 12. Notably, in Agalawatta the number of incomplete roads is 94. Many village roads have been halted mid-way, some half-done and presently impassable. Under the ongoing “Path to Revival” rural roads programme, can we prioritise resuming these halted roads?
