Land ownership certificates were on Thursday given to over 190 families who had been housed in the Sidhambarapuram village camp in Vavuniya for over 25 years, Colombo Page reported.
The certificates were presented to the families by Sri Lanka's minister of prison reforms, rehabilitation, resettlement and Hindu affairs, D M Swaminathan.
Addressing the event, Mr Swaminathan claimed, "we are committed to ensure the well-being of the Tamil Community and all projects implemented in the North are to benefit the people living in these areas. The Tamil community should understand that the present government has not done anything that would adversely affect them."
