The Hon. W. H. M. Dharmasena
Hon. W. H. M. Dharmasena raised concerns that many families in Monaragala have occupied LRC lands for 30–40 years but still face delays in receiving deeds. He asked whether the Government could apply a valuation framework based on the length of occupation, rather than current land values, when issuing deeds to long-term settlers.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My first supplementary question: In our Monaragala District, many LRC lands have been occupied for 30–40 years across two generations. The deed issuance process is not functioning properly. Where deeds are being issued, assessments are applied at current values even to those settled decades ago. Can you adopt an assessment framework based on the period of occupation when issuing deeds?
