28 May 2014 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

A group of people who had come from Chavakachcheri held a protest in Kilinochchi demanding a land which had been used by the Army after it was captured from the LTTE, the army said.

“A group of 40 people arrived in Chavakachcheri staged a protest in Kilinochchi asking for the land. The land was captured by the Army from the LTTE. None of the protesters had legal deeds for the land although they claimed it was theirs,” Defence Ministry spokesman, Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya said.

He said the land was adjacent to the land where the slain LTTE Leader used to commemorate Martyrs’ Day. (Lahiru Pothmulla and Sanath Desmond)
