The Hon. Thurairasa Ravikaran
Thurairasa Ravikaran raised concerns over accident risks from unfinished school constructions, citing a National Audit Office report, a Sunday Times report, and his own visit to a Mullaitivu school. He asked the Government to ensure proper barricading to prevent student and staff access to incomplete buildings and to state the Budget provision and priority order for completing such works.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary question:
¶ 02 Referring to the National Audit Office report highlighting accident risks from long-unfinished constructions in school premises and lack of adequate safety measures—also reported in the Sunday Times of 2025.08.03—I personally verified such a situation on 2025.07.14 at a school in the Mullaitivu education zone. Until completion, please ensure adequate barricading so students and staff cannot access unfinished buildings, and state what provision in this year’s budget is made to complete such buildings. Is there a priority order?
