A request was made by Tamil National Alliance member C.Sritharan, to handover the land belonging to Thondamannagar Uthiravengai Vairavar Temple closer to Kilinochchi town, coming under the Kanagambikaikulam grama sevaka division, to the temple trustees.

 

 

Concerning this, a letter was forwarded to Government Agent indicating that three acres of lands belonging to Uthiravengai Vairavar temple used for religious activities during festival season has been illegally confiscated by a private organization located in Anuradhapura which does not have any links with Kilinochchi soil and now the relevant sources have displayed a “no entry board”.

 

The respective persons have also threatened the temple trustee board. I am aware that this land belongs to the temple more than 35 years as my birth place is Kilinochchi and I am a resident of this soil.

 

Due to war occurred in the past period, many lands in Kilinochchi are not handed over to the people in the proper manner, which is aware.

 

Lands belonging to people and public movements are illegally confiscated by those coming from southern part of Sri Lanka and towards this mission; some Tamil officials are aiding and abating which is much depressing.

 

Concerning this land issue, I forwarded a letter to Karaichi divisional secretary and a copy I forwarded to you last month 18th, but so far I have not received response from the divisional secretary or from you.

 

Documents pertaining to the said land are in the possession of the temple administration and concerning this relevant officials had been notified.

 

 Hence you being in the position of District Government Agent should take measures to curtail the land confiscation owned by the Uthiravengai Vairavar temple and hand over the premises to the temple trustee board was mentioned in the letter forwarded to Government Agent.
