The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Water Supply revealed that 8,552 houses initiated under past government schemes in Mannar, Mullaitivu, and Vavuniya districts remain unfinished.
This followed an August 25 request by Vanni District MP Thurairasa Ravikaran seeking special allocations in the 2027 budget to restart construction from early 2027.
Ravikaran noted that in Mullaitivu alone, 2,212 houses from 2019 schemes remain incomplete, with 1,063 at roof level and 820 at wall level.
While 369.82 million rupees were released, another 1,319.18 million rupees remain pending, leaving beneficiaries struggling to finish their homes despite using personal savings and loans.
