The Hon. S.M. Marikkar
S.M. Marikkar clarified that his concern was the total number of homeless families in Kolonnawa, including sub-families living within the same house who may not have been counted. He said existing schemes such as “Laksanda Sevana” and “Sanhinda Sevana” are already occupied and therefore do not address current housing needs. He asked how many houses Kolonnawa would receive under the NHDA’s island-wide 3,000-house programme and where they would be constructed.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 You stated about one thousand families lack houses, but I referred to total homeless families; sub-families living in the same house may not have been counted. Also, “Laksanda Sevana” and “Sanhinda Sevana” are already occupied and do not answer the current homeless. My first supplementary: From the 3,000-house island-wide NHDA program, how many will Kolonnawa get and where will they be built?
