Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, in many densely populated Muslim areas, there have been numerous incidents due to wires. If you check prior reports, you will see this. New wiring systems are being introduced now; prioritizing such areas initially would be best.
¶ 02 My second supplementary: Sri Lanka now has one of the highest electricity tariffs in South Asia. The Government has said it will reduce tariffs. To what extent and how will the Ministry implement reductions?
