The Hon. Nalin Bandara Jayamaha
Hon. Nalin Bandara Jayamaha raised a point under Standing Order 120 concerning the Committee on Public Enterprises and the Norochcholai coal issue. He criticized the COPE Chairman for expressing personal views on the matter and said further attention was being directed to Norochcholai, where he alleged two stacker/reclaimer machines had broken down and inferior coal was causing smoke and fly ash emissions from a unit.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, under Standing Order 120, we know the Committee on Public Enterprises is functioning. However, the Chairman of COPE spoke in this House about the Norochcholai coal issue expressing his personal views, effectively “cleansing” the matter. Today he has gone to Norochcholai for a second phase of that “cleansing”. Yesterday two issues occurred at Norochcholai: two coal stacker/reclaimer machines broke down; and due to inferior coal, one side of a unit is emitting smoke and fly ash.
