Mullaitivu residents stop further land grabs from Archaeology Dept
04Jul 2018
Residents in Mullaitivu on Tuesday stopped officials from the Department
of Archaeology from surveying in land in view of what they believe is
an attempt to acquire further land in the region.
The residents, who where accompanied by local councillors and members of
the Northern Provincial Council, TNA and TNPF, arrived en masse as
officials were setting up equipment to survey the land, and demanded
that they leave immediately.
Already over 20,000 acres of land have declared as state land by the
Forestry Department, residents said, accusing the government of
attempting to acquire more land by stealth through the Archaeology
Department.
The protest by residents is the latest in a series of protests and
demonstrations by residents against ongoing land occupation by state
officials and the military in the North-East.
