Sri Lankan military occupies 40% land in Kilinochchi says TNA MP

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP S Sritharan said the Sri Lankan military still occupies 40% of land in Kilinochchi, reported the Daily Mirror.

"If the lands under the army are redeemed, then a permanent block of land could be obtained for the education office. This would be discussed with the government and steps would be taken," he added.

Earlier this week Mr Sritharan visited the village of Vaddakkachchi in the district together with the TNA leader R Sampanthan.
