The Hon. Roshan Akmeemana
Hon. Roshan Akmeemana highlighted Kantale’s achievements in kabaddi and other sports, citing local schools and national-level representation, and noted the lack of an indoor facility for training and competitions. He asked whether the Ministry could allocate funds to construct an indoor sports hall at the Leelarathna Grounds in Kantale, where provincial-funded development, including a swimming pool, is planned for the year.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary:
¶ 02 Trincomalee—especially Kantale—has a proud record in sports like kabaddi, producing national players and even current national women’s coach. Schools like Kantale Central, Agbopura, and Raja Ela have excelled, but there has never been an indoor facility to sustain training and competitions. We are developing the Leelarathna Grounds in Kantale this year with provincial funds, including a swimming pool. Can the Ministry allocate funds for constructing an indoor sports hall there?
