Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, my second supplementary: Indian bottom trawling impacts one side, and we also receive reports from the Navy that narcotics and contraband come on large boats, but apprehension is difficult as large vessels cannot be thoroughly checked. To make this effective, please launch a special short-term integrated operation in this zone to make arrests, and set up an expedited action plan.
