Hon. (Dr.) M.L.A.M. Hizbullah asked whether the “Urumaya” programme, which issues land grants, would be extended beyond Pradeshiya Sabha areas to low-income villages located within Municipal Council and Urban Council limits. He requested clarification on whether land grants would be provided to poor communities in those urban local authority areas.

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary question is this. Hon. Deputy Minister, there are large low-income areas even within Municipal Council and Urban Council limits, but the “Urumaya” programme has not been implemented there. Land grants are being issued only within Pradeshiya Sabha areas. Will you implement the “Urumaya” programme or issue Land Grants to poor villages within Municipal and Urban Council areas as well?
