Prime Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe says effective measures have been taken to rebuild the houses in the North and East according to the requirement of the people in those areas. 

The main objective of this programme is to fulfill the basic requirements of the affected people in the north and east. Mr. Wickremasinghe made these remarks while addressing the Parliament.

He further said more funds have been allocated for the development of north and east. 80 percent of housing constructions have been completed in those areas. 

This showcases a remarkable improvement in the day to day life of northern people when compared to the year 2009.

Prime Minister also stated although the previous government constructed a grand presidential palace in the North, the present government is seriously involved in establishing new industrial projects in the North and East to provide job opportunities to the youth community. 

Prime Minister Wickremasinghe also stated that government is ready to discuss the resettlement programme in detail with the members provided if there are any shortcomings in the process. Meanwhile, a special housing scheme had already been commenced for the benefit of estate workers. 

Prime Minister Wickremasinghe also emphasized the importance of establishing new ventures and projects to provide many job opportunities to the youth community.
