Hon. Hector Appuhamy asked the Government to clarify whether the Rs. 600 per person per day allocation for three meals in relief centres is continuing after floodwaters receded. He noted that many displaced persons still lack cooking facilities and that some areas remain without adequate food access despite private-sector assistance, and requested details on if and when the support would be stopped.

¶ 01 Madam Presiding Member, I seek brief clarification from Government: is the Rs. 600 per person per day for three meals in relief centers continuing, or has it been stopped after waters receded? Many have no facilities to cook; while the private sector helps, some places still lack food due to access. Please clarify whether it continues and, if stopping, when.
