Hon. Asoka Supun Ranwala
Hon. Asoka Supun Ranwala urged that the wetland in question be restored and conserved through an approach compatible with environmental and economic development, so it can be preserved for future generations. He noted that an expert committee report from the Gampaha District has been forwarded by the District Secretary to the relevant Ministry, and requested necessary measures to ensure the wetland’s long-term protection.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 If this is to be continued and directed towards a development effort compatible with the environment and economics, then it can be restored and bequeathed to future generations as a wetland. In this regard, an expert committee report submitted from within the Gampaha District has by now been forwarded by the Gampaha District Secretary to the relevant Ministry. I draw the attention of this Honourable House to that, and request that necessary measures be taken so that this wetland will be protected for many years. With that request to this Honourable House, I resume my seat.
