The Hon. Ajantha Gammeddage
Hon. Ajantha Gammeddage raised a second supplementary question regarding Deiyandara Primary School, stating that after the UDA demolished and removed the school, it had taken over the former school land for carnivals and trade exhibitions while students lacked proper facilities. He asked what intervention would be made by the relevant institution to secure funding and rebuild the school.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 This is my second supplementary, Hon. Minister. That was the main school in the area—Deiyandara Primary. The UDA has an obligation: having demolished and removed the school, it should, along with securing land, also find the necessary funding and intervene to build the new school. They are doing nothing to provide funding for the school. The UDA has now taken the entire former school land and uses it for carnivals and trade exhibitions. But the school is destroyed and children do not have a proper place to study. Therefore, I wish to know what intervention your institution will make to provide the necessary funding to reconstruct the school.
