Athula Welandagoda referred to the Minister and Deputy Minister’s recent visit to Yala and the congestion observed at the Palatupana and Katagamuwa gates at dawn. He asked what steps were being taken to open Bembawa as an additional entry point, noting that buildings, Civil Security personnel, and basic facilities were already available and that only limited staffing and ICT support would be needed.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Deputy Minister, thank you for the answers. Recently, the Minister and you visited Yala. Many proposals were discussed. There are two main gates, Palatupana and Katagamuwa, and you saw the severe congestion at dawn. A key proposal is to open an additional entry at Bembawa. There are buildings, Civil Security personnel, and facilities there. With two staff members, computers, and internet, we could quickly open it as an entry gate. What steps are you taking, and what is the current status?
