Hon’ble Chief Minister Kalaignar. We urge the Union
Government to impress upon the Sri Lankan Government to take
necessary action for enabling the remaining Tamils still staying in
the camps to return to their original places of residence. With a
concern for the welfare of Sri Lankan Tamils living in the refugee
camps for many years, besides doubling the quantum of financial
assistance provided to them, a sum of Rs.100 crores has been
announced for improving infrastructure facilities in these camps
and provision of houses and works are under way. We have
requested the Union Government to take necessary measures to
grant these persons permanent residentship in our country itself.
