The Hon. Ashoka Gunasena
Hon. Ashoka Gunasena raised a supplementary question about water supply gaps in high-elevation areas of Polgahawela and Alawwa under the relevant scheme. He stated that the NWSDB had identified around 1,400 families in 48 locations as urgently needing water and asked why the project was not addressing these highland areas where demand is greatest.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 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?
