Relocations are not just limited to 'tamils'.
demography there has completely changed. During the 1960s during my parents and granparents time only 3% of the population was Sinhalese, now they are 33% while Tamil populations around the town and coastal areas are diminishing
Tamils have been evicted by force and replaced with Sinhalese since 1956, have a look at these neutral websites

In the East, violence by Sinhalese thugs was used in the earlier stages to exclude minorities from colonisation schemes. Violence began with the attacks on Tamils in the Gal Oya Scheme in 1956 and Padaviya in 1958. There was progressive expulsion of Tamils from Kattukulampattu West in the Trincomalee District leading to openly violent expulsions in 1983. In 1984 the Weli Oya scheme was established through sheer violence by the armed forces leaving a number of Tamil villages in North Trincomalee and South Mullaitivu uninhabited to this day. Periya Pullumalai was deserted in 1986.
The last of the large-scale attacks was launched on Trincomalee town itself on 9th September 1985. Under cover provided by the Army, firing from the air by the Air Force and from the sea by naval gunboats, mainly Sinhalese home guards moved in to loot, burn and to kill. 25 civilians were killed and about 1500 houses and places of worship were destroyed
Now the gov think they are intelligent by saying High Security Zones and Economic Zones to hoodwink gullible masses.

Right from the day the British gave Sri Lanka independence, the Sinhala leadership had a hidden agenda. They wanted to make the multi-ethnic Sri Lanka into a mono-ethnic (Sinhala) country. DS Senanayake started the Sinhalization process by colonizing the Sinhalese in Tamil areas, changing the Tamil area names into Sinhala names and then systematically convert the Tamils or naturalize/nationalize by promoting inter-marriages with Sinhalese, etc.
He was very successful the Tamils including their leaders were sleeping. It was only the power hungry SWRD Bandaranayke woke up the Tamil leaders by introducing the *Sinhala Only* act.
From then till the early eighties the Tamil leaders managed to stop the Sinhala governments from colonizing the Tamil areas and later the Tamil militancy (LTTE) was able to protect the Tamil lands from Sinhala settlers.
Now, if the Tamil militancy (LTTE) fails, what are we Tamils going to do?
Are we going to elect as our leaders, those Sinhala government bootlickers who betrayed us, those like Douglas, Ananda Sangaree, Karuna, and so on to further ruin our homeland?
Are we going to allow the Sinhala government to colonize the Sinhalese in Tamil areas?
Are we going to let the Sinhalese erect Buddha statues in Tamil and Muslim Areas?
Are we going to let the Sinhala government to change the Tamil area names into Sinhala?
It is high time that the Tamils in Sri Lanka and abroad realize that unity among us is our first priority. It is time for the Tamils to unite by leaving our petty differences. The Northern (Jaffna) Tamils, the Eastern (Batticaloa) Tamils, the Upcountry (estate) Tamils, and the Tamils of Tamil Nadu should unite as one Tamil Nation. It is only then we can do wonders.
If there is a sign that the Tamil militancy (LTTE) is failing, then the Tamils should not waste any time. We should get ready for our next step. What is our next strategy? What is our next plan of action?
Let us Tamils get ready with our next strategy, or action plans to protect our homeland from Sinhala occupation and settlements. Let us get ready to protect our race, language and culture in our homeland.

I would say trying to work politically to get all Tamils united, then can make appeals to governments around the world, by first through local councillors. People spend too much time writing about LTTE, should discuss more about the needs of the common people (ie. resettlement in areas they were evicted from, developing areas in NE through charities, etc)
