Ms. Ambika Samivel raised a supplementary question regarding the maintenance responsibility for estate roads, which fall outside the jurisdiction of local authorities or the PRDA/RDA. She noted that several such roads had been repaired during the current year and sought clarification on whether the Ministry had engaged in discussions with estate companies and relevant authorities to establish clear, ongoing maintenance responsibilities for these roads.
Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary: Many estate roads were not under local authorities or the PRDA/RDA. This year, we repaired many roads. At Ministry level, have you discussed ongoing maintenance responsibilities with the estate companies and the relevant authorities? Who is responsible?
