Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, give me one more minute, please.
¶ 02 Today there is no fair price for milk. Milk is being purchased from farmers at low rates. Ensure a fair price. To increase production, support them and establish dairy and milk powder plants. I request the Government not to harm the livelihoods of people in Alayadivembu and Thirukkovil.
¶ 03 Also, many graduates in arts, fine arts, and commerce remain unemployed. Provide them jobs. If most opportunities are in technology, digital, and biotech, then design proper education and training to equip them for employment. Thank you.
