Housing Minister instructs to continue projects initiated last year for low-income earners and artists

Date:

Urban Development and Housing Minister Prasanna Ranatunga has instructed the Urban Development Authority to continue the implementation of the housing projects initiated last year for low-income earners and artists.

Ranatunga has also instructed the relevant parties to mobilise resources to implement these projects without burdening the Treasury given that Sri Lanka is facing an economic crisis at the moment.

The initiative pending continuation is set to build 1,996 housing units under five housing projects for artists (108) and low income earners (1,888) in Peliyagoda, Maharagama, Moratuwa, Dematagoda and Kottawa early this year, and the projects are currently being undertaken under the loan assistance provided by the Chinese government.
