Minister of Housing and Constructions Sajith Premadasa said work on 490 ‘Udagammana’ housing projects has commenced throughout the country since the government came into power and that he aims to commence work on another 500 housing projects by the end of this year and on another 2,000 projects by 2020.
The minister reiterated that the Semata Sevana housing scheme is not for a selected group of people but for all the lower income groups without any political bias.
Another intention of this he said was to provide self-employ to lower income people to make them reliant without being a burden to others.
