within next six months - Minister

The remaining Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) will be resettled within
next six months, Resettlement Minister Gunaratne Weerakoon said.
Resettlement Minister told Xinhua that the construction of permanent
houses for some 1,700 families living in a camp for the displaced in Vavuniya in
the north has already begun. “We will need at least six months to fully
complete the resettlement process. Last month we completed 206 houses and we
have begun constructing another 200 houses and that should be completed in three
months,” the minister said. Minister said that the Sri Lankan army is
assisting the government in building permanent homes for the displaced people in
areas where de-mining has been completed in the north of the country.The
government has spent US$ 360 million to resettle the Internally Displaced
Persons (IDP) since the end of the conflict in May 2009.
The government has resettled nearly 98 percent of the 290,000 internally
displaced persons (IDPs) housed in welfare centers at the end of May 2009 and
only 6,647 IDPs were remaining to be resettled at the end of 2011, the Deputy
Solicitor-General of Sri Lanka Shavindra Fernando saidIn addition to the
government's spending, UN agencies and other donor partners have provided
assistance regularly to complement the government's efforts.For those
who would be resettled the ministry would give food rations worth Rs. 3,500 per
month along with certain tools to re-establish livelihoods.
