The Government has taken action to resettle the remaining Menik Farm IDPs in Kombavil until the completion of ongoing de-mining process in Putukuduirruppu and Meritimepattu. With this initiative, the Manik Farm relief village will be shut down.

According to the Ministry of Defence, preparations are underway to construct a 600-acer new village in Kombavil for 7394 IDPs of 2097 families currently accommodated at Manik Farm.

Under this programme, each family will be provided with a 40-perch block of land and a semi-permanent house in Kombavil enabling them to restart their livelihood soon after the resettlement. The new village is adjacent to their places of origin in Putukuduirruppu and Meritimepattu.
