The Hon. Major General (Rtd.) Aruna Jayasekera - Deputy Minister of Defence
Foreign disaster relief supplies are being managed through a formal system by the National Disaster Relief Services Centre and the Ministry of Defence, with storage at warehouses in Orugodawatta. The Deputy Minister said items are transported from the airport to the warehouse and then distributed to beneficiaries through Grama Niladharis, and offered to provide details or facilitate a visit to the warehouses in response to concerns raised by Hon. Hector Appuhamy.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, thank you.
¶ 02 Hon. Hector Appuhamy raised an issue that foreign relief has arrived but not been cleared or distributed under a proper system. I wish to state that the National Disaster Relief Services Centre and the Ministry of Defence are handling this in a fully systematized manner. We have secured a warehouse at Orugodawatta. From airport to warehouse to beneficiaries via Grama Niladharis, essential items are being delivered properly. There is no issue. I invite him to visit both Orugodawatta warehouses; we can also furnish details if required. Thank you.
