Hon. Danushka Ranganath asked the Minister of Energy for details on land acquisition for the Kukuleganga Power Station project, including when acquisition began and the extent acquired. He also sought information on the station’s access road, noting that route 437 buses use it as a public transport road and that part of the road belonging to the power station is allegedly unsafe due to poor maintenance. He asked whether the Government would maintain the relevant section properly or, if not, vest it in the Road Development Authority.
