The Hon. (Dr.) Susil Ranasinghe
Lands released for housing included four plots reserved for common amenities, which were reported to be currently unoccupied. Dr. Susil Ranasinghe stated that if those plots are being used for non-public purposes, he would refer the matter to the Land Reform Commission for investigation. He added that the LRC has authority to re-acquire reserved common lands if they are being misused and undertook to take appropriate action.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 In this specific case, lands were released for housing and four plots were reserved for common amenities. Our answer states those common plots are presently free. If they are in fact being used by others for non-public purposes, I will refer it to the LRC to investigate. If lands reserved for common purposes are being misused, the LRC has the authority to re-acquire. I undertake to act accordingly.
