The Hon. Thurairasa Ravikaran
Hon. Thurairasa Ravikaran acknowledged recent land releases but urged the Government to also release the fishers’ landing site, houses occupied by Navy personnel, paddy fields and other lands. He requested action to resettle affected people, noting that the President had responded positively when the matter was discussed at the Consultative Committee.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Deputy Minister. We acknowledge some lands have been released. Just as you have allowed access to the school and church, the fishers’ landing site also should be released. People say, “Navy personnel are staying in our houses, not releasing them.” Please prove that wrong by releasing those houses and resettling the people. When we discussed this with His Excellency the President at the Consultative Committee, his responses were agreeable. Accordingly, please arrange to release the lands, houses, paddy fields and the landing site.
