Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, despite past initiatives like “Uthuru Wasanthaya” (Northern Spring), it seems spring did not truly arrive for the North. The present Government allocated provisions in the last Budget and will allocate in 2026 as well to address people’s pressing needs, including these facilities.
