Displaced Tamil families from the High Security Zones in Valli North that settled in occupied land vacated by the Sri Lankan Army in Koppai protested against an order from the Regional Secretary instructing them to leave ‘government land,' reports Uthayan.
The families disputed the Regional Secretary’s demand, arguing that they were initially displaced due to Sri Lankan army occupation and questioned why then they could not settle on government lands left unoccupied.
