Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees, please give me one more minute.

¶ 02 Additionally, the internal path that exists within the airport area, though closed, or at least the path along the fence, should be opened. People now have to detour 2.5 kilometres with eight bends instead of a straight 400 metres. On behalf of the people, I earnestly request relief. Thank you.
