The twelfth phase of ‘Api Wenuwen Api’ Ranaviru Housing Scheme that saw its birth as a conceptual notion of HE the President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Secretary Defence and Urban Development, in another landmark project, donated 100 more new houses to War Heroes, resident in the Matale District on Monday (3) in a mammoth ceremony, headed by HE the President Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Chief Guest.
70 Army personnel, 20 sailors and 10 airmen during this ceremony received ownership to those new houses, each worth about Rs 3.5 million. These new houses were erected in plots of land, owned by the War Heroes themselves and those constructions were carried out by tri-service engineers of the armed forces, donating their labour and technical knowhow to the noble project.
In the past few years after culmination of the war, 11 such housing projects have been carried out by the Ministry of Defence and Urban Development in Kandy, Kurunegala, Matara, Hambantota, Monaragala, Badulla, Galle, Ampara, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Kalutara, Kegalle, Polonnaruwa, Gampaha and Ratnapura Districts, providing shelters to War Heroes.
Ministry of Defence and Urban Development which launched the ‘Api Wenuwen Api’ housing project with generosity of each and every Sri Lankan and expatriate community, maintains that invaluable sacrifices of valiant War Heroes for sovereignty of the Nation, should be held in high esteem.
