| The
construction of an accelerated housing scheme for soldiers
comprising 20,000 housing units, to be completed in
four stages is under way. This is the first time that
a massive housing project is to be constructed exclusively
for soldiers to be allocated on easy terms.
Construction of the entire project
estimated at Rs. 30,000 million will be funded by the
Bank of Ceylon. During the first stage 2000 houses will
be constructed in the Anuradhapura district.
A discussion to this effect
was held at Temple Trees, yesterday (23) between President
Rajapaksa and relevant authorities.
