Sri Lanka's cabinet this week approved the establishing of a task force to resettle "protracted internally displaced persons" within the Northern province.
“IDPs were seen since the 1980s due to the conflict situation. These include Tamil as well as Sinhala and Muslim families in the Northern Province,” the cabinet paper said, reported LBO.
“After the end of the conflict these IDPs began to return to their homeland but with lack of infrastructure the process was not successful. Muslim and Sinhala IDP families need 16,120 and 5,543 houses respectively,” it added.
