The Hon. Susil Ranasinghe
Hon. Susil Ranasinghe acknowledged concerns that acquired lands had been unlawfully sold and described the matter as a long-standing issue not fully resolved despite steps by the Irrigation Department. He stated that action would be taken, with the assistance of Members representing the Matara District, to prepare measures to regularize the process.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, what the Hon. Member says is correct. There is an issue: lands acquired have been sold unlawfully. This has been a long-standing problem. Although the Irrigation Department has taken certain steps, I do not think a complete, orderly resolution has been achieved. We are willing to act on this. With the assistance of Members representing the people of the Matara District, we will prepare the necessary steps to regularize this process.
