Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, the Hambantota salterns—Mahalevaya, Karagan Lewaya, Palatupana, Bundala—produce for the whole country. Even after the tsunami submerged all four, there was no salt shortage. Today’s shortage is due to a major fraud, I say.
