Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I went to Kurunegala and rushed back. From Wariyapola onwards is inundated; Deduru Oya has overflowed.
¶ 02 I won’t belabor it. This is not the time for jokes. Recognize the disaster and act swiftly to restore fields nationwide; provide seed and fertilizer again where needed; highland vegetables have been devastated—90 percent lost in some areas—assist them urgently.
