The Hon. Imran Maharoof
Hon. Imran Maharoof raised the lack of sports grounds with adequate lighting and facilities for night-time football, cricket and other sports in his area. He noted that increased night competitions and climate-related preferences for evening play make such facilities important, and asked whether the Government plans to establish them to support athletes.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, more competitions are now held at night; there is no ground in our area with adequate lighting and facilities for night play of football, cricket and other sports. With climate change, many athletes also prefer evening and night play. Does the Government have plans to establish such facilities to encourage athletes?
