A fresh batch of 45 Sri Lankan Tamil refugees headed back to their homeland from the international airport yesterday. Airport sources said the refugees who were housed in various camps located in Tiruchi, Dindigul, Kanyakumari, Villupuram, Tuticorin, Sivaganga, Pudukottai, Madurai, Karur, Tirunelveli and Ramanathapuram districts had obtained exit clearance from the respective district administration authorities where the camps functioned.

The sources said there were no police cases against the refugees. In May, a group of 41 Lankan Tamil refugees returned to Sri Lanka and another batch of 46 refugees went back last month. (Hindu)

What is the reconstruction/ reintegration support provided to these refugees? Will they suffer more than they did the camps?

Say what you want but the North and East of our country is paradise compared to the hell hole that is Tamil Nadu. People like Jayalalitha and Vaiko are nothing but traitors to their own kind playing to the gallery for the sake of their political career.

Settle them in kurunagala or attanagalla so that UNP can win the district and get the bonus seats.

Yeah they are coming now. With their separate state in the making, why not?

If they are Sri lankan Citizens they have a right to return and live in Sri lanka.
