The Chief Secretary had presented the outline of the master plan for the rehabilitation project in the previous cabinet meeting. After detailed discussions, today's cabinet meeting reached a decision on how the rehabilitation should be carried out.

The cabinet discussed building homes for rehabilitation across two townships at an estimated cost of Rs 750 crore and ensuring timely implementation of the related activities. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will explain the details and decisions of the project at a press conference scheduled for 3:30 PM.

According to the draft master plan, single-story houses with a floor area of 1,000 square feet will be constructed as part of the project. Separate agencies will oversee and manage the project, and today's cabinet meeting has finalized who these agencies will be, according to reports.
