The government programme to sell apartments built by the Urban Development Authority (UDA) for dollars to Sri Lankan Migrant Workers has commenced.
Two apartment complexes built for middle-income families by the UDA in Borella and Angoda consist of 608 and 500 houses each, respectively.
The UDA Board has approved a 10% discount for Sri Lankans living overseas and Sri Lankan migrant workers who use dollars to purchase houses in the two apartment complexes.
Under the programme, the first housing unit from the Viyathpura Housing Scheme has been sold for US$ 40,000 to a Sri Lankan migrant worker employed in Dubai, UAE. (NewsWire)
