The Hon. Chanaka Madugoda
Hon. Chanaka Madugoda asked the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Land and Irrigation about delays in issuing freehold deeds under the “Urumaya” Programme to landowners who had handed over land permits, grants and deeds to the Government. He sought clarification on whether the Government accepts that no action has been taken, what steps have been taken to establish entitlement, whether there is a timeframe for completing the process, and how affected individuals can obtain updates on the status of their documents.
