by Mohammed Naalir
The people who had been displaced from Sampur will be resettled soon.
Seven locations have been identified to relocate them, Trincomalee
District Secretariat sources said.
As the four Grama Niladari Divisions in Sampur are to be declared as
economic zones, the displaced people are to be resettled in those areas.
Families numbering 1,086, consisting of 3,464 persons, are yet to be
resettled, according to sources.
Plans are afoot to resettle the people in the Mutur Divisional
Secretariat, the sources said.
When the Security Forces launched humanitarian operations against the
LTTE in Mavil Aru in 2006 38,474 families comprising 138,664 persons
were displaced from the Trincomalee district, the sources said. Over
17,330 families numbering 65,170 persons were displaced from the Mutur
Divisional Secretariat Division alone. Only 1,086 families are yet to be
resettled, the sources said.
