Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 There are certain issues regarding the preparation of these studies, particularly concerning the Gin–Nilwala Project. We are examining these issues at the Ministry level. Beyond the Gin, studies and forward actions concerning other rivers such as the Kelani and those at flood risk show an unsettled situation. In consultation with the Department of Irrigation, we are structuring a proper work plan: identifying what studies exist, their findings, and the necessary next steps.
