Over 100,000 land issues
December 14, 2013

Minister of Lands and Land Development Janaka Bandara Tennakoon says over 100,000 land issues remain to be resolved in the North and East.

Speaking in Parliament today, the Minister however said that addressing most land issues however have been hampered owing to ongoing court cases.

He said that some 22,408 land related issues have already been resolved in the North and East but another 125,950 land issues are yet to be resolved. 

The Minister insisted that his Ministry had taken steps to resolve the land issue but court cases initiated as a result of political influence had hampered those efforts.
