Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, under Standing Order 27(2), I rise because the country faces a severe and adverse weather situation that is expected to expand over the next two to three days. With Hon. Lal Kantha present, I propose to the President to declare a State of Emergency—not for politics, but to protect everyone in the country—so that tri-forces and Police can assist in managing the situation, and necessary relief and entitlements can quickly reach all affected.
