The Prime Minister’s Office, in a statement yesterday, said that compensation for those affected by violence in the Kandy District had begun to be provided with priority being given to religious institutions.

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe announced the decision to provide compensation to those affected during a special address to Parliament last week. The Prime Minister had advised priority compensation be given to religious institutions damaged in the clashes that erupted in Digana and later spread to other areas of Kandy.

A mobile service providing compensation will also be held at the Kandy Divisional Secretariat today, the statement said.

“The aim is to complete providing compensation in as short a time as possible,” it added, but did not give any details as to how much compensation would be dispensed.
