Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, we have observed that. There are many such issues. Even before the outage, I inquired and discussed. As a people-centric Government, we are moving towards a people-centric energy transition. We see — and I personally experience — problems in public access and distance in this service. We are planning to resolve many of them and gathering information. Give us some time; we believe we can solve most of these issues.
