Deputy Minister for Resettlement Vinayagamurthy Muralidharan allayed fears of the villagers of Vellaveli in the Batticaloa district by assuring them that he would speak to the authorities concerned, to move the pack of rogue elephants that were marauding their villages causing heavy damage to life, limb and property.
The Deputy Minister who has the nom de guerre of Karuna Amman, said so in awarding a compensation of Rs 25,000 to each of the 30 families who have been badly affected as a result of the Human-Elephant conflict in the Batticaloa district.
The Deputy Minister who toured the Divisional Secretariat areas of Santhapuram, Periya Paranthan, Umayalpuram in the Kilinochchi district this week assured the newly resettled IDPs that he would on his return to Colombo take action to brief President Mahinda Rajapaksa on their land problems and take speedy action to resolve them.
Deputy Minister Muralidharan who presided over the ceremonial launching of a housing project for newly resettled IDP families in Chettikulam in the Vavuniya District this week, appealed to members of the Tamil Diaspora to help the members and President of Sri Lanka and the Britain Friendship Association in coming forward to sponsor the construction of houses for the IDPs.
The President of the Sri Lanka-Britain Friendship Association, Ms. Rochell who was associated at the foundation laying ceremony said that their Association had come forward to sponsor the construction of houses for the IDPs in response to a request made by the Deputy Minister.

Ministers cum heads of paramilitaries make promises on settling the land and house problems taken over by the security forces by talking to the president.
Devananda says he is 'in the process' of handing over lands from HSZ and Muralitharan settling land problems. He also wants Tamil diaspora to help building houses for IDP's because the govt spends record sum of money on maintaining more than 220,000 strong army to safeguard 'sovereignty'.

I saw on TV a couple of years ago a very novel way of handling the elephant problem. Villagers would set up loudspeakers and play the sound of bees buzzing whenever elephants approached. This seemed to work as the elephants did not apparently enjoy the sound and they moved away from the village. It was a very humane way of dealing with the issue.
If no audio track of bees is available, I am sure the vuvuzela would make a suitable replacement. |

Give him a Bazooka.
He is an experienced Terminator he will handle it well to bring an end to the conflict. Either Humans or Elephants will survive - No conflict after that. |
