He added that selected courtrooms are being equipped with digital systems and that such facilities will also be provided at the new complex.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Member, I believe there is a small error in your premise. The Beligaha Court Complex has not yet been declared open. I personally inspected it. It was not opened in 2024. Construction commenced in 2011 and has taken this long. Since our Government took office about one and a half years ago, we expect to start in the first week of June. It has never been opened, even for an hour. On your second point: yes, we are equipping selected courtrooms with digital systems, and those facilities will also be provided at the new complex.
