Tamil activists stop pre-emptive land survey for Sri Lankan navy appropriation in North-East

The surveying of lands owned by Tamils in the North-East to be handed over to the Sri Lankan navy, was stopped on Friday after several land owners and activists confronted the surveyors reports the Uthayan.

A case disputing the impending Sri Lankan Navy appropriation of over 183 acres of land in Vali North remains unsettled in court.

TNA MPs M Senanthiraja and E Saravanabhavan, TNPF Secretary  K Gajenthiran, and Northern Provincial Councillors A Sasitharan and P Gajatheepan confronted the land surveyors on their pre-emptive actions, who were eventually forced to halt their work and retracted to their offices.
