The Hon. M.S. Abthul Wazeeth
Hon. M.S. Abthul Wazeeth raised a supplementary question on the impact of recent nationwide floods on fishermen, particularly in Ampara District areas including Maruthamunai, Kalmunai, Sainthamaruthu, Nintavur, Attalaichenai, Akkaraipattu, Thirukkovil, Pottuvil, Komari, and Panama. He asked whether the Government would provide grants or loans to restore livelihoods and compensate income losses, and sought clarification on how affected fishermen could access such assistance.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. My first supplementary:
¶ 02 Recently, due to floods nationwide, many fishermen lost their livelihoods—especially in Ampara where fishing is a primary income source—in areas such as Maruthamunai, Kalmunai, Sainthamaruthu, Nintavur, Attalaichenai, Akkaraipattu, Thirukkovil, Pottuvil, Komari, and Panama. Will the Government provide grants or loans to restore livelihoods and support those who lost income due to the floods? How can they obtain such assistance?
