The Hon. Ashoka Gunasena
Hon. Ashoka Gunasena raised a supplementary question concerning sannasa-backed lands reportedly used by villagers for about 200 years. He noted a discrepancy between recent Plan No. 95204, which identifies the land as belonging to Katugampola Hathpattuwa, and the 1911 Plan No. 455, which identifies it as belonging to Dambadeniya Hathpattuwa, and requested the Minister’s urgent attention and clarification on further action.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary is this. Hon. Minister, there are sannasa-backed lands used by villagers for about 200 years within this area. Recently, under Plan No. 95204, it is shown that the land belongs to Katugampola Hathpattuwa, but in the original 1911 Plan No. 455 it is shown as belonging to Dambadeniya Hathpattuwa. Therefore, I request your urgent attention and to state what can be done going forward.
