SL navy continues surveying Tamil land for appropriation despite protests

The Sri Lankan navy surveyed private Tamil land once again, despite owners protesting forced appropriation, reports the Uthayan.

Tamil land owners protested outside a Sri Lankan navy base in Keerimalai after the navy announced further 183 acres of land was to be surveyed for acquisition.


The land to be acquired belongs to 35 separate owners and a burial ground.
