The Hon. Sivagnanam Shritharan
Sivagnanam Shritharan urged the Minister to market local products under their historic and place-based names, specifically proposing “Aanaivilunthaan Salt” and “Kurinjatheevu Salt,” similar to Ottuchuddan tiles named after Pandara Vanniyan. He expressed willingness to cooperate in advancing these productions and called for the swift commencement of the Parantan industrial estate.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, thank you again. On the Ottuchuddan tiles under the name of the hero Pandara Vanniyan, likewise “Aanaivilunthaan Salt” must be marketed under its historic name; it belongs to that land. The salt from Kurinjatheevu should be labelled “Kurinjatheevu Salt”. Please restore those authentic names. We will fully cooperate to move these productions forward and to begin the Parantan industrial estate swiftly.
