The Hon. Sivagnanam Shritharan
Asked the Minister whether four interim injunctions relating to the Mannar development project create any legal barrier to continuing it. He questioned objections filed from Colombo on environmental grounds, arguing that significant funds had been spent and that blocking the project could leave Mannar in an unhygienic condition.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, my question is: since four interim injunctions have been issued by court relating to this project, is there any legal bar to continuing it? A large sum was spent for Mannar’s development. If a person from Colombo files action to block it while claiming to love nature, does he want to keep that town unhygienic? What is your response?
