The Sri Lankan army continues its surveillance and interference in released land, local sources report.

A barricade, with at least one soldier keeping surveillance, went up in Kankesanthurai the day after the use of another army check-point was discontinued.
63 acres of land were released in Kankesanthurai, and the announcement that the army checkpoint would be removed was welcomed by locals.
Residents and returning land-owners expressed their concern that the army would continue their surveillance and intimidation of people in the area.
