Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Under that coordinating committee’s charter, a building was identified. However, the problem arose because a certain political group, due to political preferences, opposed allocating that school building. You, Hon. Members, know the underlying reasons and what happened.

¶ 02 Therefore, the need arose to identify an alternative building, Hon. Speaker. Specific interventions were made, and an alternative building was identified, but action could not be taken to obtain that building. Regarding the specific matter you raised, we will take a decision regarding that building and give it our attention.
