The Hon. Aruna Panagoda
Hon. Aruna Panagoda raised concerns about 592 acquired plots in the Homagama DS Division, noting that only six have been properly valued after about 10 years. He said affected owners cannot build or sell their land, while local authorities continue to levy rates despite the lands being treated as state land. He asked the Minister what immediate steps will be taken to resolve these valuation and ownership-related hardships.
