The Hon. S.M. Marikkar
Hon. S.M. Marikkar questioned the accuracy of the Urban Development Authority’s reported 125.98 hectares of land within the city and asked for independent verification, stating that he believed the extent was higher. He noted that only 15–20 hectares appeared to be allocated to 20 listed projects and asked what plans existed for the remaining roughly 100 hectares, including whether the Government had prepared or was preparing an overall development plan.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, my first supplementary is this. The DG/UDA states 125.98 ha within the city. To my knowledge UDA lands exceed that. Please verify independently. Your answer lists 20 projects using around 15–20 ha. What is planned for the balance roughly 100 ha? Has the Government prepared or is it preparing an overall plan?
