Hon. Sivagnanam Shritharan urged the Minister to address the poor condition of a coastal road in the Jaffna District serving Maruthankerny DS Division, including Thalaiyadi, Uduthurai, Kattaikadu and Vetrilaikerny. He asked that any political interference or official negligence behind substandard work be investigated and those responsible held accountable, and called for a durable reconstruction rather than repeated temporary repairs for communities affected by the tsunami and the war.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, this coastal road in the Jaffna District is crucial for the public, particularly students and residents in Maruthankerny DS Division, including Thalaiyadi, Uduthurai, Kattaikadu, Vetrilaikerny and surrounding areas. Please determine whether political interference or official negligence caused substandard work, and bring the culprits to justice. If only “touch-up” repairs are repeatedly done on this sandy stretch, the road will further deteriorate. These people — affected by the tsunami and the war — still lack a proper road. Kindly ensure a durable solution.
