The Hon. S.M. Marikkar
Hon. S.M. Marikkar asked the Minister to clarify the Government’s policy on a flyover project for which preliminary studies, surveys, and land acquisition compensation had already been funded. He argued that abandoning the project would waste public expenditure and fail to achieve its intended objectives, noting that the previous Government had decided not to proceed.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My first supplementary question is this.
¶ 02 Hon. Minister, at the inception of this project, preliminary studies and surveys were undertaken, and billions were paid in compensation to acquire lands. If the flyover is not built, those payments are a waste. Secondly, the intended objectives will not be achieved. The decision not to build was taken by the previous Government. What is the policy of the present Government in this regard?
