Despite it being 15 years since the end of the armed conflict in Sri Lanka, India and Sri Lanka continue to undertake joint military exercises to enhance their military capability for counter-insurgency operations. 

In a bid to hold Tamil politicians accountable, Eelam Tamil youths signed a petition as part of a larger signature campaign demanding that promises made by Tamil members of parliament during the election be fulfilled. 

This part of the campaign which was held in Mannar was organized by the National Fisheries Solidarity Organization (NAFSO). This fisherfolk movement works with marginalized groups such as internally displaced people. 

Tamil National People's Front (TNPF) MP Selvarajah Kajendran has leveled allegations against fellow Tamil politicians, claiming that they are deceiving the Tamil community by engaging in discussions about the 13th Amendment with President Ranil Wickremesinghe.

President Ranil Wickremesinghe when questioned in Jaffna as to why he chose to speak in Sinhalese while in Jaffna when the majority understands and speaks English, he retorted by stating that he wants the Sinhalese to know what he says while in the North-East.

Sri Lanka's Supreme Court has scheduled October 14 for the hearing of five fundamental rights petitions filed against the wind power plant project undertaken by India's Adani Group in Mannar.

In a questionable move, the Sri Lankan government has relinquished control of the Kankasanthurai cement factory to a private company, Luminex PLC. This decision, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers, raises concerns about the fate of once-profitable state-owned industries and lands.

As Sri Lanka’s economy collapsed in early 2021, the impact was particularly harsh for Tamil residents of the Nort-East, including Vavuniya, Mannar, Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi, and Jaffna.
