Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, we recognize potable water is essential for a tourism area and the general public. If we bring water from Senanayake Samudraya, it must also be supplied en route to Siyambalanduwa and Panama. It is a very large investment—about Rs. 12,000 million in the initial phase. As I stated, we are in discussions with the World Bank and are making a concerted effort.
