Hon. Aravinda Senarath addressed supplementary questions regarding compensation and paddy purchasing, noting these fell outside the primary irrigation topic. He affirmed that compensation is being disbursed systematically based on officially submitted data, and that the process had already commenced prior to the question being raised. He further indicated that the remaining affected farmers would receive their funds within the coming days.
Mr. Speaker, the main question relates to irrigation, but both supplementaries were on compensation and paddy purchasing. As a question from a public representative, I will answer.
We are providing solutions and compensation in an orderly and systematic manner based on data submitted by officials. Even before this question was raised, we met the farmers in the area and commenced the compensation process. For the remaining group as well, within the next few days, the funds will be provided.
