The Coastal Security Group (CSG) personnel conducted a programme on Wednesday in the Keezhputhupattu Sri Lankan Tamil refugee camp in Tamil Nadu to sensitise the residents to security perception.

Inspector (CSG) R. Sekar told The Hindu that the camp inmates were advised not to organise any function to commemorate the death anniversary of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam chief V. Prabakaran that falls on May 18 and 19. The camp residents told him that they would not conduct such events as it might affect the harmonious relations among themselves.

Mr. Sekar told them that they should immediately alert the police and the CSG personnel if they came across unknown persons in their area.

A total of 454 families was living in the old and new refugee camps at Keezhputhupattu. They were eking out their living by doing odd jobs, including loading and unloading the consignments at the fish landing yards and taking up construction jobs. As the 45-day fishing ban period was now in force, many of them were jobless. Mr. Sekar told the inmates not to fall prey to unscrupulous elements who might exploit their gullibility by promising lucrative jobs abroad, and set out on clandestine sea voyage in search of greener pastures. They should give no room for activities that would be suspect in the eyes of the security personnel. (The Hindu)
