Sri Lanka defence officials visit North

Senior Sri Lankan defence officials visited the North on Sunday to examine army led resettlement projects.

The paper reported that the army's release of civilian land in Jaffna, as well as the housing project in Keeramalai were also evaluated. See more here.

The government's failure to expedite the release of civilian land currently occupied by the military over 7 years since the end of the armed conflict has been widely criticised, and has prompted numerous protests across the North-East.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
