The Hon. W. H. M. Dharmasena
Hon. W. H. M. Dharmasena asked the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Land and Irrigation for details on arable government lands and Land Reform Commission-owned lands in the Monaragala District. He sought clarification on whether the Government is aware that deed issuance has been suspended and that long-term occupants of LRC lands, some for 25 to 30 years, have not received title deeds or permits. He asked whether steps will be taken to issue title deeds or land permits to those occupants, and if not, the reasons for inaction.
