The Hon. Imran Maharoof
Hon. Imran Maharoof asked for clarity on Government plans to provide pipe-borne water to underserved villages in the Kuchchaveli Divisional Secretariat Division, noting that supply reaches Erakkandi Bridge and Pulmoddai but bypasses several intervening villages. He stated that over 10,000 families remain dependent on well water and linked the issue to renal and kidney-related health concerns in nearby areas. He requested specific details on proposed projects, including their start and completion timelines, noting that previous representations had not produced the desired results.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. I ask my first supplementary question.
¶ 02 The main purpose of my question is to ensure that pipe-borne water is provided to all areas there. In our Kuchchaveli Divisional Secretariat Division, the supply has been given up to Erakkandi Bridge and on the other side up to Pulmoddai. However, in between, villages such as Kumpurupiddi, Kallampathai, Salappaiaru, Thiriyai, Kuchchaveli, Pudavaikkattu and Kallarawa have not been provided with pipe-borne water. More than 10,000 families are affected and still compelled to consume well water.
¶ 03 As the Hon. Minister stated, people in areas such as Padavi Siripura, Gomaran Kadawala and Morawewa face renal problems including kidney failure. Despite the reply, are there specific projects the Government will implement? When will they begin, and when will they be completed? I request clarity in this House. I have raised similar issues before, but we have not achieved the desired outcomes.
