The Hon. M.S. Uthumalebbe
Hon. M.S. Uthumalebbe asked the Minister of Transport, Highways and Urban Development about two bridge projects in Ampara District—the Bryanthurai Kandam River bridge in Pottuvil and the Heda Oya Bridge—which he said had been initiated by the previous Government but had since stopped midway. He sought confirmation on whether steps had been taken to resume construction and whether the projects would be included in the Special Development Programme, and requested reasons if not.
