According to Rehabilitation Authority that comes under the Ministry of Eastern regional Development Ministry, due to April violence in Muttur area, a total of 8985 families were displaced. Of this 7782 families were from Muslim community, about 1200 Tamil families and three Sinhalese families.

Minister Mr.Rauff Hakim said that he was against calling this event as a celebration as there was no joy in celebrating in payment of compensation to violence victims. "We should see no more violence victims being created among us and should eliminate the compensation culture from the society. This could be achieved forging unity among Muslims and Tamils in Muttur," said Mr. Hakim.
