Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I only corrected the nomenclature: it is an extension under Phase I, not a formally titled Phase 2. About 61% of the ongoing works have been completed. With Budget allocations, these can be completed, and Ratnapura will receive its share. Depending on future allocations, we can commence further projects.
¶ 02 Regarding Alapatha DS Division, I do not have details here. I will inquire and inform you privately, and we will consider all points raised. Rs. 2,000 million has been allocated nationally for potable water supply in this Budget; funds will be utilized to address needs across districts.
