The government, under the direct intervention of State Minister of Defence Premitha Bandara Tennakoon, has decided, to provide labour support from the Civil Security Department (CSD) for the construction of houses for the CSD members who do not currently own a house and for the repair works of existing houses.

Accordingly, during the initial stage, 100 CSD members will benefit from this initiative. 

The State Minister stated that CSD members have been instructed to submit detailed applications to the Director General of the CSD. 

Arrangements will be made to provide the necessary facilities to members selected through specific criteria.

Furthermore, in response to the request from the CSD, the government has decided to increase the daily ration allowance from Rs. 350 to Rs. 500. 

State Minister Tennakoon further stated that the above increase is implemented after considering the current economic climate in the country and that it will, to some extent, help the CSD members to stabilize their living conditions.
