Protests by local Tamil residents in Kilinochchi stopped army attempts to survey their land for future acquisition on Tuesday.
Reports suggest that the military was surveying 16 acres of Tamil land for future acquisition, before they were interrupted by protests.
The Tamil National Alliance MP Sritharan was also present at the protest and expressed strong opposition against the military surveys.
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
