Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, you asked whether McHeyzer development was abandoned. In December I inaugurated the 400-metre track there. Using the available grounds in Trincomalee town, we will continue development. This year we will complete remaining works and explore providing facilities for night play. We are advancing the concept of public sports grounds, which is very important. Your proposal is good; we will make maximum effort to develop a good ground within Trincomalee town suitable for night-time sports.
