The military said that several army camps in the Jaffna peninsula were closed down today, further reducing the presence of troops in the area.

“Approximately 30 acres of lands and 10 houses in Thenmarachchi area were handed over to the civil authorities for them to hand over the properties to the original owners,” military spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya said.

“This will further reduce the presence of troops in the area as part of a larger program launched by the security forces to locate troops in main camps where possible,” he added.
