The Sri Lankan Army has re-seized some lands in Valikamam North that were released to their owners earlier this month.
Just two days after releasing around 683 acres from the 28-year
occupation of the ’high security zone’, Sri Lankan soldiers blocked off
access and reoccupied lands in Thaiyiddi South - Unthuvathai, and the
area surrounding the Vellaivaikkal Vairavar temple.
Part of the land that has been seized again includes a suspected arsenal
which was discovered in the released area of Thaiyiddi. (above)
The Tamil landowners had expressed concern about the continued presence
of army checkpoints and guard posts around the released lands, and
questioned the permanence and conditionality of the release.
