The Hon. Amirthanathan Adaikkalanathan
He urged that, in handling unclaimed or lost items, authorities should follow legal procedures while also considering identifying details provided by claimants to maximize the return of property to rightful owners, even if remaining assets are used for regional development. He also called for proper implementation of the National Transport Commission (Amendment), including regulation of private and SLTB transport, rehabilitation of local roads, and introduction of rural services to help farmers, fishers, and small entrepreneurs access markets and obtain fair prices.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. I am not asking for immediate return; legal procedures must be followed. But when people provide identifying details of lost items, those too should be considered. While using unclaimed items for regional development is good, please also maximize the chance for rightful owners to receive their property.
¶ 02 Finally, the National Transport Commission (Amendment) must be implemented properly. Regulate private and SLTB systems; rehabilitate local roads; start new rural services. Then farmers, fishers, and small entrepreneurs can sell at fair prices directly and benefit.
¶ 03 Thank you.
