The Hon. Sivagnanam Shritharan
Sivagnanam Shritharan noted that a reply to his earlier question on flood damage to farmers had been received after more than seven months, by which time the affected cultivation season had ended. He stated that, to his knowledge, farmers in Kilinochchi District had not yet received relief or compensation, and requested the Minister to appoint a team to investigate the matter, saying he would accept its findings.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I raised this question seven months and three days ago; we received the reply only today. At the time, floods had destroyed fields and farmers suffered losses. Now the short season has ended and they are preparing for the next. To my knowledge, in Kilinochchi District, no relief or compensation has yet been paid. I request the Hon. Minister to consider appointing a team to investigate; I am ready to accept that outcome.
