To be in line with the Commander's noble visionary project, 18 Regiments swiftly began construction of 35 new houses in recipients’ own land slots, made available by two of selected beneficiaries from each respective regiment for erection under the Phase 1 of the project.

This new initiative came into effect after the Commander closely observed and evaluated the need for proper and decent housing facilities for family members of fallen War Heroes and differently able ones, who have rendered an invaluable service to the country as true patriotic sons of Sri Lanka to achieve peace in 2009, Army media reported.

The Phase II of this new housing project will commence, giving priority to the next segment of relatives and differently able War Heroes, latest by the end of July, this year after all documents, related to land ownership, architectural design, estimate, assessment, etc, are produced by future beneficiaries to their respective regiments.

Under the Phase I, relatives of fallen War Heroes and injured War Heroes from Sri Lanka Armoured Corps (SLAC), Sri Lanka Artillery (SLA), Sri Lanka Engineers (SLE), Sri Lanka Signal Corps (SLSC), Sri Lanka Light Infantry (SLLI), Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment (SLSR), Gemunu Watch (GW), Gajaba Regiment (GR), Vijayabahu Infantry Regiment (VIR), Mechanized Infantry Regiment (MIR), Commando Regiment (CR), Special Forces (SF), Military Intelligence Corps (MIC), Sri Lanka Army Service Corps (SLASC), Sri Lanka Army Medical Corps (SLAMC), Sri Lanka Army General Service Corps (SLAGSC), Sri Lanka National Guard (SLNG) and Sri Lanka Army Women’s Corps (SLAWC), were among the beneficiaries under this new scheme, initiated by the Commander.
