It comes after the Sri Lankan military announced that it had completed the construction of a new water facility at a school in Jaffna earlier this month.
Navatkuli, located in the Jaffna district, is the site of a government sponsored Sinhalese settlement. Earlier this year, a Sri Lankan army commander laid the foundation stone for a controversial new Buddhist stupa in a religious ceremony held in the town.
