Sri Lanka Army releases HSZ land in Jaffna

The army has released a section of the High Security Zone (HSZ) situated in Ariyalai east between railway tracks and the Kandy-Jaffna A9 road. Army headquarters has authorised the release of 103 acres of cultivable paddy fields on the recommendation of Jaffna Commander Major General G. A. Chandrasiri.
Inter-Agency Standing Committee which represents all INGOs including UN agencies has confirmed the release of land in its latest bulletin.
A senior army spokesman based in Jaffna said the 73 families would be benefited. `We have already given them access to their land. They ll be issued special identity cards,` he said.
Ariyalai is situated in the area controlled by 51 Division deployed in the town and its adjoining areas. He said the return of the civilians would be subject to strict surveillance as part of the security measures to thwart LTTE infiltration.
Responding to our queries, the official said that the release of land had not been on a court order. He said people tend to mix up the release of Ariyalai paddy fields with an ongoing case over cultivable land within the Palaly HSZ. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, he said the armed forces had initiated discussions with the Government Agent of Jaffna and the judiciary to explore ways and means of facilitating the return of civilians. But this wouldn t be at the expense of security of the strategic bases, he said. Northern Naval Area Commander Rear Admiral Tissara Samarasinghe and Major General Chandrasiri are involved in the ongoing deliberations.
The official said that gradual easing up of restrictions would largely depend on the support received from the civilian community. Emphasising the importance of thwarting LTTE attempts to cause trouble in the peninsula, he commended the civilians for protecting electricity transformers at the risk of their lives.
The LTTE recently damaged several electricity transformers as part of their efforts to harass the Jaffna administration.

After very long suffering of Jaffna Tamils without their lands held as HSZ they (GOSL) have realized if not released it will get released very soon by VP team guys...so it is better to release it themselves. All HSZs will have the same fate in North and East very soon
Who wants these HSZ for what ! it is pure oppression by Sinhala GOSL army who are in reality illegal occupants holding Tamil man's land in the name of HSZs for several years depriving their day to day living and farming.
Were they having HSZs holding Sinhala man's living hood land during peak JVP hammering in south for few years during 1988 to 1990....International community & UN should clarify this from Sinhala GOSL....Jaffna man has lived without these HSZ for centuries...it is the Sinhala GOSL having Israeli concepts created these HSZs.
Now these HSZs are failing in Israel and GOSL thinking to release HSZs... also they need to create new HSZs in wanni jungles to manage the current hammering by VP guys...any way Jaffna Tamils should say Jayawewa and pinsiddhawewa to Mahinda for the release of their land held as HSZ by Chandrika's GOSL for years have achieved nothing but resulted only Tamil man suffering.

All of Jaffna is Tamil land.
SLA should give this land to its lawful owners and move to Galle, Matara, Anpantota! This war will end then and only then!

| HSZ is important in Jaffna. Once they are given to owners of the houses LTTE can threat them and use those premises to attack military forces. Therefore SLA must continuosly monitor activities of this zone. |

Who divided land as Tamil land , Sinhala land, English land and so on.
Probably those who do not have a land like peelamaya.
There is no specific land for anyone. You should be able to live anywhere without any interference from anyone else. Wait another couple of months to feel that to bound areas.
If you dont get is stay in Japan .
I do not think eelmaya will ever return to SL even whole SL is given to Tamils.

Whats wrong with you, man? Sri Lanka is the Southern part of the island. Jaffna, located furtherst to the North, can never be Sri Lanka.
When Sri Lanka was created in 1972, Zinhalayas never asked Tamils. So, Sri Lanka or what we called Zinhariztan is the South -- Galle, Matara, Anpantota...!

We will end the occupation, and wipe out the ILLEGAL occupants.
We will take back the lands and rebuild a normal and decent life for the innocent people whose life were wasted.
Poor Palestinians, poor Tamils, you are OCCUPIED by ZIONISTS. Raise your voice against the State Terrorists.

So called unitary Sri Lanka was created by British rulers for their ruling convenience till they came it was Tamil and sinhala states having clearly defined boundaries and ruled by respective communities and their kings...please read lankan history properly to know the facts of the past.
When the British guys went the entire Tamil and Sinhala states in former Ceylon was given to Sinhalaya that is why Tamils are suffering all these days to regain their states in Ceylon.
