¶ 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?
