Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the Hon. Deputy Minister said Rs. 952 million has been paid out of Rs. 1,000 million. I wish to know the issue regarding the remaining amount. I checked the situation in the Kurunegala District today. There are still payments to be made, Hon. Deputy Minister. Appeals have been submitted. In some places, inspections have not yet been carried out. Often, information about compensation only reaches some when payments begin. Could you state whether there is a procedure to address these cases and what steps will be taken regarding them?
