Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 I will take one minute. What I stated is that under Section 11(1) of the Sri Lanka Disaster Management Act No. 13 of 2005—since he does not know it, I will send a copy—upon declaration of a disaster situation, special opportunities arise to provide relief. I proposed this in the morning as well when you were present. As it has not yet been implemented, I reiterate it now. That is my right and freedom.
