The families of eight victims who lost their lives in the recent floods will receive compensation worth Rs 250,000 each, Minister Ranjith Madduma Bandara said.
The Public Administration Ministry has already disbursed Rs 25,000 each as temporary relief to assist in the repairs of around 3000 houses which had been partially destroyed by the floods, he noted.
Meanwhile, an assesment will be carried out on the houses which have been totally destroyed, in order to provide compensation or reconstruct houses, the Public Administration and Disaster Management Minister added.
