257 families remain displaced in Muhamalai

Six years since the end of the armed conflict, 257 families in the Muhamalai region of Kilinochchi district remain displaced said the Divisional Secretariat.

According to the Secretariat the delay is due to the failure to clear the area of land mines and unexploded bombs.

The resettlement in Kilinochchi district had been taking place in stages since December 2009.
