Home at last!

By A. T. M. Gunananda

After having lived in refugee camps 146 civilians of 47 families of Verugal, Vattavan, Mawaddichennei and Chena were able to come back to their villages last Monday as a result of the resettling programme. People were brought to their villages in CTB buses from the Muttur depot and were provided lunch by the Army.

Before settling down, the villagers visited the ancient Verugal Kovil and performed religious observances. They will be provided dry rations for two weeks and water tanks will be supplied.

The second stage of resettlement will take place on Thursday.
