He stated that the Ministry is working toward sustainable solutions for cattle-rearing and grassland issues, not only in Batticaloa but also in areas such as Hambantota and Anuradhapura, within the Government’s broader policy goal of a production economy with support for the livestock sector.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, the Hon. Member asked about compensation. I cannot give a definitive answer right now. As I said, this is a complex, long-standing and sensitive matter. As a Ministry, we are working on it.
¶ 02 Our policy goal is a production economy, with special attention and responsibility to the livestock sector, ensuring facilities. This issue is not limited to Batticaloa; it exists in many places—Hambantota, Anuradhapura, etc.—regarding cattle-rearing and grasslands. We are working with multiple institutions to deliver sustainable solutions.
