The Hon. Danushka Ranganath
Danushka Ranganath thanked the Minister for the response and raised concerns about enforcement gaps despite the existence of nearly 40 instruments on water source protection. He asked whether those instruments would be reviewed and updated to meet current needs, citing new tourism activity in areas such as Agalawatta and Bulathsinhala in Kalutara as a potential risk to water sources.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I thank the Hon. Minister for the detailed answer. Although there are many instruments—nearly 40—relating to water source protection, enforcement gaps arise. Will existing instruments be reviewed and updated to current needs? Parts of Kalutara—like Agalawatta and Bulathsinhala—are seeing new tourism activity, raising concerns about water source protection. That is why I asked. This is my only supplementary.
