Nearly 1000 internally displaced families are to be resettled in three Grama Niladari Divisions in Puthukudyiruppu Divisional Secretariat Division and one in Karaithuraipatru in Mullaitivu District, Mullaitivu District Secretary S. Patthinathan said.

Accordingly the people who displaced from Devipuram, Suthandhirapuram and Wallipuram Grama Niladari Divisions in Puthukudiyiruppu Divisional Secretariat Division are to be resettled by this week, he said.

Resettlement will take place in Semmalai South Grama Niladari Division as the de-mining has been completed, according to Patthinathan.

He said that the Government postponed the local government elections in these Divisional Secretariat Divisions as the de-mining was not completed.
