The Hon. Pathmanathan Sathiyalingam
Pathmanathan Sathiyalingam raised concerns about public lands in Vavuniya still being occupied by security forces, citing the Vavuniya Police Station on Municipal Council land, the Iyangkulam Rest House used as an Army camp, and an STF camp on CEB land at Chettikulam. He asked whether these lands could be released 15 years after the war and requested that the matter be placed before the next District Development Committee.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: similar issues exist at other important locations in Vavuniya—e.g., the Vavuniya Police Station stands on a Municipal Council land; the Iyangkulam (Eechchankulam) Rest House is now an Army camp; and at Chettikulam, an STF camp stands on CEB land. Fifteen years after the war, can these be released? Can this be placed before the next District Development Committee?
