Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, give me one minute!
¶ 02 The Mullaitivu sea area is in the hands of lawbreakers. Night fishing with powerful lights makes the entire sea appear like daytime. While these illegal activities are happening, those responsible for enforcement merely watch. Why cannot the Navy, Police and the Department of Fisheries stop these activities? I ask and take my seat. Thank you!
