NAGERCOIL: : The Government has allotted 24 acres of land at Colachel saltpans to construct 500 houses for tsunami-hit fishermen in Colachel and Simon colony areas, said the Collector, Sunil Paliwal.

Presiding over the `boomi pooja,' organised by the Kottar Social Service Society on Wednesday, he said that the houses would be constructed on a 360 square feet plinth area at a cost of Rs. 2.65 lakh per unit.

While three NGOs — Caritas India, KSSS and Catholic Rehabilitation Society — have taken up construction of 500 permanent shelters in Colachel, a total of 13 NGOs have been involved in construction of 2,500 permanent houses in the district. House site pattas would be distributed to the beneficiaries of the 500 houses and owners of all houses that existed at the saltpan areas. A total of 46,000 houses in the district had been identified as lying within the first km of high tide line, 38,000 houses within the first half km and other 8,000 within the second half. The district administration had identified 825 houses lying within 40 feet of high tide line in Neerodi near Kerela.

New houses would be constructed for the families living in these houses at a new location.
