Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I have visited the Peraru reservoir on an inspection tour, but I was not aware of these specific issues. The reservoir belongs to the National Water Supply and Drainage Board, not the Community Water Supply Department. Please have the District Coordinating Committee forward recommendations and information to our Ministry. We will examine and act swiftly. Additionally, I will obtain details from the Water Supply and Drainage Board on the current status, issues, and measures taken, and proceed accordingly.
