The Hon. Kanthasamy Prabu
Kanthasamy Prabu highlighted the need for 1990 Suwa Seriya ambulance services in Vellaveli, Paduvankarai, and Kaluwanchikudy in the Batticaloa District, citing injuries from human-elephant conflict, snakebites, and highway accidents on the Batticaloa–Kalmunai road. He asked whether the service could be established in Kaluwanchikudy to reduce reliance on ambulances from Kalmunai or Kattankudy.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. In Vellaveli, Paduvankarai, Batticaloa District, many suffer injuries due to human-elephant conflict and snakebites. The 1990 Suwa Seriya is vital to transport them to hospitals. Similarly, in Kaluwanchikudy this service is not available. Many accidents occur on the highway from Batticaloa to Kalmunai. One must rely on vehicles from Kalmunai or Kattankudy. As my first supplementary: can this service be established in Kaluwanchikudy?
