Residents in Kilinochchi demanded to be resettled in their original lands, reports Uthayan.
Families who had been displaced since 1995, speaking to the Uthayan, said that at least 3000 families in the regions of Vempodukeni, Mukamalai and Ithavil were living as refugees.
The resettlement in the mentioned regions has been delayed over the past 5 years due to government claims that explosives may still be present in the unoccupied lands.
