The Muslim residents who were resettled in Pommaveli, Jaffna have been on a fast on death from yesterday against the shortage of basic amenities which were to be provided by the government.

The protest was started last Tuesday (8) which was changed into a fast unto death when the government representatives avoid to meet them.

Meanwhile, Jaffna Government Agent Imelda Sukumar said that she was not in a position to do anything in this regard. (By Rifthi Ali)

Being Muslims they should remember "suicide" is not allowed in Islam. Better they come up with some other methods.
