The Hon. (Mrs.) Chamindranee Kiriella, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Chamindranee Kiriella raised concerns about reported air pollution in Kandy city, particularly around the Kandy Lake roundabout where heavy traffic and schools are located. She cited reports from the Kandy General Hospital of children receiving treatment for respiratory problems, including COPD, and asked what action the Minister would take to address the issue.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. While today’s readings are favourable, recent media reported elevated pollution within Kandy city limits. Surrounded by forest but with heavy traffic, schools are around the Kandy Lake roundabout. The Kandy General Hospital reports many children treated for respiratory issues; COPD among children is noted. What actions will you take?
