Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a point of order under Standing Orders 29(1) and 29(2), citing a parliamentary privilege infringement after being delayed over 30 minutes at the Peliyagoda Exit while entering Colombo. He requested that the Deputy Speaker inform the relevant Ministry to address the ongoing traffic or access issues at that exit, noting he had previously raised this matter in the House.
Mr. Deputy Speaker, my point of order arises under Standing Orders 29(1) and 29(2) as an urgent matter. This morning, when entering Colombo, I had to wait in a queue for more than 30 minutes at the Peliyagoda Exit. My Privileges were infringed, and I became 30 minutes late. I have previously raised in this House that issues arise at that exit. Please inform the relevant Ministry to resolve this problem.
