Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva welcomed the Deputy Minister’s efforts to conclude a long-standing resettlement matter but sought to correct the stated figures, saying the total should be 87 rather than 83 when approved residential constructions and pending appeals are counted. He asked within what timeframe the resettlement process would be completed once the corrected figure is taken into account.

¶ 01 Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Minister. We have been fighting for this for some time. We appreciate your effort to now bring this to a close. I must, however, make one clarification. You said 75 residential constructions have been approved and 8 appeals are pending, out of 83. But this needs correction. The true number should not be 83 but 87. Please look into that.

¶ 02 My first supplementary is this: with the correction included, within what time frame do you expect to complete the resettlement, Hon. Deputy Minister?
