Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, I mistakenly thanked the Coconut Development Authority earlier; I meant to thank the entire staff of the Coconut Cultivation Board for their exceptional efforts in managing diseases like whitefly and related outbreaks affecting coconut cultivation. My apologies, and my thanks to the Board.

¶ 02 Thank you.
