Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please grant me one more minute, Madam Presiding Member.
¶ 02 We should keep regulation under the Government, and also enlist capable specialized partners to assist. Human lives are at stake. Animals, too, have a right to this earth; protecting their rights is also a duty of the Government. Therefore, I urge the implementation of a structured, sustainable programme to save lives on both sides and expedite compensation for victims.
