The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
In response to a question on a proposed flyover project, Bimal Rathnayake stated that it is not currently being implemented because the Cabinet-appointed RAMP Committee decided on 10 November 2022 not to proceed, due to the inability to secure domestic funding amid the economic crisis. He added that no decision has been made on whether to construct the flyover or on any funding source, and related follow-up matters are therefore not applicable.
