The relocation failure in Sri Lanka is a known problem and each year thousands of people are displaced and resettled due to war, floods or development projects. Day by day, the amounts of displacement increase and the people who are responsible, struggle finding solutions. While the book highlights issues faced by people due to displacement, the findings also reveal that resettlement plans so far have not been very successful as resettlement procedures are not strong and practical enough. Hence, resettlement issues continue to exist.
