The Hon. Nanda Bandara
Hon. Nanda Bandara raised the issue of unresolved resettlement following the 2016 Samasara Kanda landslide in the Aranayake DS Division. He noted that some homeowners identified as highly vulnerable under the second and third phases still lack relocation land and are instructed to evacuate during heavy rains, and asked whether a portion of LRC land could be allocated to the Aranayake DS Division for their resettlement.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, my first supplementary is this. In 2016, the Samasara Kanda landslide in the Aranayake DS Division caused severe loss of life and property. Although resettlement villages were built at eight locations, many homeowners named under the second and third phases as highly vulnerable still lack designated lands for relocation and are advised by Disaster Management to evacuate during heavy rains. Can a portion of LRC land be allocated to the Aranayake DS Division for resettlement?
