Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please give me a very short time, Hon. Presiding Member. I also want to speak a little about the irrigation sector. For the development of the Irrigation Sector, Rs. 78,000 million has been allocated for 2025. Out of that, Rs. 2,000 million has been allocated for the cascade system including Gal Oya, Rajanganaya, Huruluwewa and Minneriya. For Minneriya tank alone, Rs. 500 million was allocated, and 85% of that project is now complete. This year Rs. 6,500 million is allocated for those tanks. Nuwara Chaiva is your heart, isn’t it? Likewise, the Parakrama Samudraya in Polonnaruwa is my heart. Every time I come from Polonnaruwa, I bow to Parakrama Samudraya, Hon. Minister.
