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.

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
