Hon. Ajantha Gammeddage asked whether the Urban Development Authority could return the Gangabada Udyana land to the Matara Municipal Council following an inquiry. He said the original understanding was that the land would revert to the Council after UDA development, but it had instead been given to a private entity that briefly opened it while commercializing public access and needs.

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: The original understanding was that the Gangabada Udyana land, after UDA development, would return to the Matara Municipal Council. Instead, it was given to a private entity which briefly opened it and was commercializing public needs. Can the UDA now return the park to the MMC after inquiry?
