(Lanka-e-News, July 02, 2010, 7.45PM) Tamil National Alliance M. P. P Ariyahendran had charged that the displaced Tamils who are re settled in Batticaloa are having neither permanent shelter nor basic facilities.
There were 39000 families resettled in Batticaloa after the end of the war. Due to the war 13,777 houses were fully destroyed and 9317 houses were partially destroyed. Even though over a year has gone following the end of the war, the Govt. has been able to construct only 1377 houses, Ariyahendran lamented. |

Ariyahendran made these revelations at a meeting in Batticaloa yesterday (01)
The Govt. has granted Rs. 25,000 as welfare fund to each of the 6000 displaced families. Despite the displaced people demanding from the govt. to increase this amount, the Govt. has not paid heed so far. Even this Rs. 25,000/- has not been paid to another 25,000 families, Ariyahendran pointed out. |
