126/2020
Hon. Charles Nirmalanathan,— To ask the Minister of Agriculture,—
(a) Is he aware that—
(i) the reconstruction work of the Nanjundankulam tank, which is one among the major tanks belonging to the Pudukuduirippu Divisional Secretariat Division of Mullaitivu district, was not carried out as a result of the heavy and continuous rains, in spite of the financial allocation of Rs. 40 million made by the former government after granting approval to the above reconstruction;
(ii) a large number of paddy fields and lands get water from this tank and the rural people are dependent on this tank for their livelihoods; and
(iii) although the required approval has been granted to the State Timber Corporation to remove the unnecessary trees that grow along the dam of the Nanjundankulam tank, it has not materialized owing to the dilapidated state of the road used for transportation?
(b) Will he inform this House—
(i) if so, of the date on which financial allocations will be made for the reconstruction of the Nanjundankulam tank; and
(ii) of the date on which the work related to the reconstruction of the above tank will be commenced after having repaired the access road?
(c) If not, why?
