Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 If you are bitten, that would be a big problem. I do not know whether anti-venom is available here. Is anti-venom available here? Please look into that. Especially because this Parliament is situated within an environmentally sensitive zone, you too should be careful of these snakes, and we in Parliament should also be careful.
