Hon. Sajith Premadasa - Leader of the Opposition
Hon. Sajith Premadasa raised concern that displaced residents in 17 camps in Uva Paranagama, including at Maspanna Ayurvedic Hospital and several surrounding areas, were reportedly being told to return to homes that may be destroyed or unsafe. He requested the Chief Government Organizer to investigate and, if confirmed, stop such action immediately. He also called for a united, nonpartisan national response without divisions of party, race, religion, caste or creed.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Our Hon. Chief Government Organizer is in the House. We received information that in Uva Paranagama, people who lost their homes and are at camps are being told to return to their houses. Please look into this. There are 17 camps in Uva Paranagama—at Maspanna Ayurvedic Hospital, Alagolla, Dimbulana, Galaniya, Rathamba, Kirkills, Manikkawatta, Galahagama and other areas. How can people be sent back to houses that no longer exist or are unsafe? If this is happening, please stop it immediately.
¶ 02 We reiterate that as a nation, we must move forward together—without division of government and opposition, race, religion, caste or creed—with practical, nonpartisan commitment to the people and the country.
¶ 03 Thank you.
