The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Chamara Sampath Dasanayake said he was satisfied with the answer but urged Parliament to focus on the ongoing disaster situation in Badulla District, where he said 18 deaths had occurred and further heavy rainfall was forecast. He reported that several roads, including in Lunugala, Passara, Mätigahathenna and Akeeriya, were impassable and requested the Leader of the House to mobilize dozers and private vehicles for urgent relief operations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I am satisfied with the answer. Given the current disaster situation, it is better we focus on that. In Badulla District, 18 deaths have occurred so far. The Department of Meteorology forecasts 200–300 mm of rainfall in the next few hours. Roads are washed out—Lunugala, Passara, Mätigahathenna, Akeeriya—all are impassable. I urge the Leader of the House to mobilize dozers and private vehicles for relief. I will not take time for supplementary questions; the situation is dire. We must intervene immediately to assist the public and enable the Government to act.
