A team of experts sent by the Indian government will visit the North to assess the need for road development in the province, Highways and Road Development Minister Kabir Hashim told Parliament yesterday.

He said this in response to a question asked by Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP Charles Nirmalanathan.

The minister said with the assistance of the TNA, the Indian experts would engage in a survey of roads in the North, to determine those that need to be reconstructed.

He said, a bridge connecting Mullaitivu with Trincomalee, would also be constructed. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

Leave India alone. Is India with China and Russia now?

It's a good move. A road similar to A9 connecting Puttalam along the coast to Mannar would help that region to develop. North needs an inter continental airport for commerce tourism and to cater the thousands of unemployed. Countries such as Canada, U.K., France, Gemany may help in this matter. This will be an obvious move for reconciliation.

It is an outrage and an insult to allow the Indians to construct roads for the Tamils in the North, forgetting the barbarism committed by the Indian Army against the Northern Tamils. Are we the Northern Tamils not humans ?
