The Hon. Major General (Rtd.) G.D. Sooriyabandara
Major General (Rtd.) G.D. Sooriyabandara noted that LRC land extents have been identified but not yet comprehensively audited. He asked what action would be taken regarding unauthorized occupants, including those settled through political patronage or who have become de facto permanent residents, in the course of current or future regularization and audit processes.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you to the Hon. Deputy Minister. According to the answer, the extents have been identified in acres but not comprehensively audited, though steps are being taken.
¶ 02 My first supplementary: Many LRC lands have unauthorized occupants; some were settled due to political patronage, others have become de facto permanent occupants. What action will be taken regarding such occupants during the ongoing or future regularization and audit processes?
