Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, my next supplementary is a request. Due to this issue, court proceedings are being conducted in a place without even minimum sanitary facilities. The public, witnesses and sureties who come there cannot access basic facilities. Also, Gatabaru Rajamaha Viharaya is a place heavily frequented by devotees, and court sittings there have adversely affected their religious activities. Thank you for your attention; please expedite completion urgently.
