The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Hon. Bimal Rathnayake said he could not immediately commit to providing an SLTB bus without further consultation, but indicated that a temporary permit could be considered if a private operator is available. He stated that the RDA Chairman would be sent to the area within a week and advised the Member to also take up the bus service issue with the Sabaragamuwa Provincial Passenger Transport Authority.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, I cannot commit without consultation to deploying an SLTB bus. If a private operator is willing, we can consider issuing a temporary permit until the problem is resolved. As stated, I will dispatch the RDA Chairman within a week. For the bus issue, the Hon. Member can also engage the Sabaragamuwa Provincial Passenger Transport Authority.
