Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, for the past two to three days, heavy rains and winds have severely affected Batticaloa, Trincomalee, Ampara—indeed the entire Eastern Province. We appreciate the immediate steps taken by the Hon. President yesterday. Due to the cyclone the day before yesterday, roofs of thousands of houses were destroyed, leaving people wandering without shelter; some are staying with relatives. Therefore, I request that immediate facilities be provided to them.
