Navy builds houses for resettled

Naval personnel built three new houses for three resettled families in Karainagar and Kayts. The houses were handed over to the occupants by Northern Naval Area Deputy Commander Commodore T J L Sinnaih on November 18 to coincide with the President's 65th birthday and his second Inauguration.

Religious dignitaries and Government officials were present at the functions held to ceremonially hand over the houses. SLNS Elara contributed to the construction of two houses in Karainagar while SLNS Kanchchadewa assisted in the construction of the other house in Kayts. The houses were built under the Government initiative to grant new houses to resettled civilians in the Northern province.

Anandarasa Wasanthi, the sole bread-winner of a four-member family received the house built at Naranthenai South in Kayts.

Wasanthi, a mother of a son aged seven and two daughters aged four and six whose father had died during LTTE terror, expressed her gratitude to the Navy for their assistance.

The recipients of the two houses built in Karainagar by SLNS Elara are Sinnatambi Abdul Rasa and Sinnawan Mahimananam residing at Mapathanuri and Malalukkai.

Under the direction of the Navy Commander Vice Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe, Sri Lanka Navy has been carrying out a number of humanitarian assistance programs.
