The Hon. Kins Nelson
Kins Nelson asked whether the “Mahaweli Re-awakening Programme,” begun in early 2025 in Anuradhapura and Mahaweli Zone “B,” includes effective implementation of land permit issuance. He noted that about 10,000 land recipients in Zone “B” still lack permits and requested details on whether a rapid programme will be started, whether it has already been implemented, and what action the Minister has taken.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, my first supplementary is this. The “Mahaweli Re-awakening Programme” started in January 2025 in Anuradhapura and in February 2025 in Mahaweli Zone “B”. Alongside it, programmes in agriculture development, irrigation and road development, land development, fisheries and livestock, etc., were commenced. To date, about 10,000 land recipients in Zone “B” have not been issued permits. There was also a programme under this initiative to issue land permits. I ask the Hon. Minister: will a rapid programme be commenced to issue land permits to farmers and sub-families in Mahaweli Zone “B”? Has it been implemented under this programme? What actions have you taken so far?
