The Hon. Sivagnanam Shritharan
Sivagnanam Shritharan raised a supplementary question about long-term residents in Kilinochchi who have lived on land for nearly a century without receiving title deeds. He said temporary land permits had been taken back by officials under a programme promising freehold deeds, and asked whether, if freehold deeds cannot be issued, those temporary permits could at least be returned.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, in Kilinochchi there are people who have resided for almost 100 years yet have not been given land title deeds. Under the programme you mentioned, temporary land permits were taken back by the offices promising freehold deeds. If you cannot now give freehold, can you at least return those temporary permits? That is my first supplementary.
