The Hon. Ajith Gihan
Hon. Ajith Gihan raised concerns that waste from a project had reached the coastal area, affecting fisherfolk and salt production and causing public opposition in the District. He questioned how this occurred if the Central and Provincial Environmental Authorities had properly performed their duties, and asked for assurances that such problems would not recur so the project would not fail again.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 That waste reached the coastal area, affecting fisherfolk. As salt production also occurs there, it impacted that too, creating public opposition in the District. Such a situation should have been prevented. You say the project work is now proceeding successfully. Yet, if the Central and Provincial Environmental Authorities had properly discharged their duties, how did that happen? Therefore, can you assure the people of the District that such issues will not recur so that the project does not fail again?
