Hon. Thurairasa Ravikaran asked for immediate action to provide the promised postal vehicle for Mullaitivu, noting that Mannar had already received one following an assurance given during oral questions on 08.04.2026. He stated that the delay of about a month showed unequal treatment of Mullaitivu in provincial postal services and said the designated vehicle was reportedly in Jaffna.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, regarding postal vehicles for Mullaitivu and Mannar, during oral questions on 08.04.2026, the Deputy Minister Hon. Kaushalya Ariyarathna stated that vehicles would be provided promptly. Mannar has received a vehicle, but Mullaitivu has been delayed for about a month. This shows Mullaitivu is still not on par with other districts in provincial postal services. I request your immediate intervention to provide the Mullaitivu vehicle without delay. I understand the designated vehicle is currently in Jaffna. All districts must be treated equally; such delays keep Mullaitivu lagging.
