The Hon. (Mrs.) A. M. M. M. Rathwaththe
Questioned the Government’s position on underutilized upland plots in Mahaweli areas, noting that only about 25 per cent had reportedly been productively used since inception. Raised concern that some lands granted for proposed projects remain fallow or have been diverted to other uses, and asked what action would be taken regarding such unimplemented projects.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: From inception, only about 25% of uplands in the Mahaweli areas are utilized productively. Some individuals obtained plots presenting projects, but many remain fallow or diverted to other uses. What is your stance regarding lands granted for projects that have not been implemented?
