The Hon. (Dr.) Hiniduma Sunil Senevi
The Minister stated that concerns previously raised to the Prime Minister had not been ignored and that he had consulted the Minister of Public Security. He said STF protection for the centre at Chittampalam A. Gardiner Mawatha, Colombo 07, had been withdrawn, and further details could be provided. He noted difficulties in identifying and regulating such entities because some are registered as businesses, including restaurants, while conducting other activities, and said his Ministry is verifying registration status through relevant departments and Divisional Secretariats.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I recall that under questions to the Hon. Prime Minister, in January you raised this. We have not ignored it. I inquired from our Hon. Minister in charge of Public Security; I have learned that STF protection has been withdrawn. Further details can be provided. Registration is complex. My Ministry has departments for the four main religions with established structures and procedures. Some entities are registered at the Registrar of Companies as restaurants and become business ventures, yet different activities take place. Gathering information is difficult; these are scattered under Divisional Secretariats. Upon receiving information, we verify registration status. We are pursuing the matters you raised. This morning I discussed it with my departmental heads. Regarding the centre at Chittampalam A. Gardiner Mawatha (Colombo 07), STF security has been removed.
