Sri Lanka Army (SLA) said that it has gradually returned a large extent of land to the original owners after reducing the size of Army camps in Jaffna of Northern Province, reports Colombo Page on July 24.

However, he said it is necessary for the military to continue to maintain army camps in certain selected areas in the Jaffna Peninsula for national security as security is a matter that cannot be neglected.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was considering the surrendering of several of its key members to the Security Forces (SFs) during the final stages of the war, Northern Provincial councilor and widow of former LTTE Eastern Political Wing Head, Velayutham Sasitharan alias S. Elilan, Ananthi Sasitharan said, reports The Nation on September 28. Ananthi Sasitharan told The Nation that a few days before the war ended, Elilan had informed her that he would be meeting LTTE’s ‘political wing head’, Balasingham Nadesan with regard to the surrendering of some key members. Ananthi Sasitharan’s statement comes in the wake of claims reportedly made by Sasirekha, the widow of S.P. Tamil Selvan, who was the ‘political wing’ head of LTTE before Balasingham Nadesan, that the ‘White Flag incident’ (May 18, 2009) was fabricated. Sasirekha, who is currently residing in Paris, had reportedly stated that the incident did not happen since the LTTE leader did not allow any of his senior members to surrender to the SFs. Ananthi Sasitharan, however, stated that Sasirekha would not have known the actual situation since she had surrendered to the SFs through a different route, Irattaivaikkal, while the key LTTE members were still at Mullivaikkal, Northern Province.
