Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, there is an emergency. A bus with about 70 passengers has been stranded for one and a half hours on the Kalawewa bridge on the Anuradhapura–Puttalam road. Approval for a helicopter rescue has not yet been granted. This is serious. I urge immediate Government intervention. Also, the Kalutara District is under red alert; Ratnapura had heavy rains last night. Please pay special attention to relief in Kalutara where water remains stagnant across many DS divisions.
