KOLLAM: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Saturday

handed over the keys of 16 houses constructed by the

Mata Amritanandamayi Math at Alapad for people who had

lost their houses in the tsunami in December last. The

houses are part of the 1,400 houses being constructed

by the Math at Alapad for the tsunami victims.

 

Addressing a function in this connection, the Chief

Minister said the delay in the construction of houses

for the tsunami victims at Alapad was on account of

technical problems. He said the issue of constructing

houses at locations vulnerable to tsunami onslaught

was one of them. He promised that the remaining houses

would be constructed as early as possible.

 

Later, at a function at Karunagapally, Mr. Chandy

distributed 2,600 cooking gas connections free of

charge to the tsunami victims. The connections were

sponsored by two private groups, Indian Oil

Corporation Limited and Bharat Petroleum.
