June 20 - A total of 106 houses were inaugurated under the Indian Housing Project during the visit of Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar. 

This event was marked by a joint ceremony where President Ranil Wickremesinghe and Dr. Jaishankar unveiled a virtual plaque commemorating the new homes in the districts of Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, and Matale.

The Indian Housing Project aims to construct 50,000 houses across the island nation. 

The newly inaugurated homes in Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, and Matale are part of this larger initiative, providing much-needed housing to families in these regions, particularly benefiting the Indian-origin Tamil community.

Adding to the day's milestones, 24 houses in each model village of Colombo and Trincomalee were handed over virtually, showcasing the project's extensive reach and impact.
