¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. My first supplementary:

¶ 02 I represent the areas where this scheme operates. Within Polgahawela and Alawwa, high elevation areas are not being supplied. The NWSDB has identified that about 1,400 families in 48 such locations urgently need water. Why is the project now overlooking these highlands, where the need is greatest?
