Sinhala Air Force, Navy compete with occupying Army in seizing Tamil lands in Vanni
Sinhala Air Force, Navy compete with occupying Army in seizing Tamil lands in Vanni
The occupying Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) is deploying at least 16,720 acres of public lands in Vanni, which have earlier been taken over by the Forest Department of genocidal Sri Lanka. The SLAF controls 8,500 acres of lands in Ampa-kaamam, 3,500 acres from Karippadda-mu'rippu to Ira'nai-madu and 2,200 acres in Keappaa-pulavu, where uprooted Tamil villagers are demanding de-militarisation and proper resettlement. In the meantime, The SL Navy base known as ‘SLNS Gotabaya’, which comes under the so-called Eastern Naval Area (ENA), has been officially allocated with 671 acres despite repeated protests from private land owners. The lands being allocated to SLNS Gotabhaya in Mu'l'livaaykkaal East also contains crucial evidences and traces of genocidal onslaught against Eezham Tamils in 2009 where the final onslaught took place in May 2009.

The area has been seized by the SL Navy for the so-called ‘Regional Security Centre’, monitoring the coastal belt of Mullaiththeevu towards the Bay of Bengal.
The lands that belong to private owners have been illegally occupied since 2009 and there are crucial evidences still intact in the area, the people say.
Despite repeated complaints against the move to seize the lands for military purposes, the SL Land Ministry and Land Department officials have given green signal for the seizure, civil sources in Mullaiththeevu said.
In the meantime, SL Forest Department and Wildlife Department are planning to take over more lands in Vanni, the sources further said.
So far, the occupying SL Army has been concentrating on seizing strategic locations, fertile farmlands, industrial zones and settlement areas for Sinhala colonies. But, the SLA has also been demanding ‘Forest Lands’, the sources further said.
The SL Navy ‘Gotabaya’ camp was initially launched as a Naval Deployment (ND) in January 2011 and was later upgraded as a Commissioned Naval Base (CNB) with the title ‘Sri Lanka Naval Ship Gotabhaya’ in 2012.
The SL Navy has put up barbed-wire fences annexing the seized lands with SLNS Gotabhaya.
Several naval detachments connected to ‘Gotabhaya’ are functioning in areas subjected to demographic and structural genocide in Naayaa'ru and Kokku'laay areas of Karai-thu'raip-pattu division.
The ‘SLNS Gotabaya’ comes under the so-called Eastern Naval Area of the SL Navy Command, which has its central command at Trincomalee.
The ENA covers the longest eastern belt of the occupied country of Eezham Tamils, and consists of 13 Commissioned Naval Bases (CNBs). The ENA is the largest establishment within the SL Navy in the entire island.

Kooniththeevu arrests illegal without Gazette notification: lawyer
Kooniththeevu arrests illegal without Gazette notification: lawyer
Attorney-at-Law Arumukam Jegasothy from Trincomalee, one of the lawyers who appeared on behalf of the three Tamil trustees of the temple of Maththa’la-malai Murukan temple, said without a pre-existing Gazette notification on archaeological reserve at the time of the dispute and police action, the trustees could not be held in detention. The Sinhala lawyer who represented the prosecutor didn’t document the existence of a Gazette notification at Moothoor Magistrate’s court last time. Any new move to file a such notification cannot be used to justify the arrests and that the three trustees would be released by next time when the prosecutor fails to prove the pre-existence of such a Gazette notification.
Eezham Tamils have no political power to counter the move by the SL State and its Archaeological Department that seek to criminalise their future construction activities.
It should be the responsibility of ITAK Leader and the Leader of Opposition R. Sampanthan, who hails from Trincomalee, to at least voice for the rights of the people of Kooniththeevu at this juncture, the devotees who were gathered at Maththa'lamalai said on Sunday.
The devotees staged a special prayer at the temple of Maththa’la-malai for the release of the illegally detained trustees of their temple management on Sunday.

SL Navy behind causing temple controversy at Kooniththeevu
SL Navy behind causing temple controversy at Kooniththeevu
Without having established anything scientifically and without even officially declaring anything through a Gazette notification, the SL Archaeology Department, which relies upon manipulations, extremist views, occupying Sinhala military and the ‘Buddhism foremost’ clauses of the unitary constitution, managed to build a false paradigm of an imaginative ‘stupa’ as having existed at the hill-top of Maththa'la-malai at the locality of Choodaik-kudaa in Kooniththeevu GS division of Moothoor East, Trincomalee. Basicially, the entire falsehood has been based on the utterances coming from the chief monk of Seruwila Mangala Raja Maha Viharaya, Munhene Mettarama thero. The Seruwila monk is someone who has been closely working with the occupying Sinhala Navy in Champoor, a well-informed source in Trincomalee told TamilNet on Saturday.
One should also note that all the controversial capture of lands and properties of Tamils under various pretexts are taking place while the US Pacific Command is directly involved in upgrading the occupying navy of genocidal Sri Lanka with a marine force through its training sessions in Trincomalee and the SLNS Vidura establishment, the main training base of the SL Navy, is situated in Champoor, near the disputed hill-top.
The US Pacific Fleet and SL Navy have been jointly training in Trincomalee in recent times.
At the same time, the Sinhala Navy has been destroying the houses of uprooted Eezham Tamils in Champoor, Trincomalee, since October 2017 to obtain concrete material to fortify its newly built administrative headquarters for the training of the ‘Marine Battalion’.
The SL Navy has also been putting up a chain of coastal points since October, claiming to beef up the security of the 4-story building, which is situated within the premises of ‘SLNS Vidura’ naval base at Champoor. The training base has been completely reconstructed following the Yahapalanaya regime change.
The expansion of the temple of the village deity of Tamils at Maththa'la-malai was seen as a hurdle for the latest plans of seizing more lands for SL Navy's Vidura base. It is under these circumstances, the SL Navy seems to have approached the monk at Seruwila.
A Buddhist stupa constructed on the hill-top of Maththa'la-malai would be visible from the Trincomalee harbour, the SL Navy has briefed the monk in December 2017.
The occupying SL Navy was fully aware that the Tamil people were engaged in expanding the temple on the top of the hill-top while it approached the monk in Seruwila.
Following all the controversies that have been reported so far, it was only on Saturday the SL Archaeology Department managed to dispatch some of its field workers to analyse the locality.
The SL Archaeology Department has to now somehow document that there was a girth of the Cetiya as having existed at Maththa'la-malai in the ancient past. Otherwise, it would more likely to incur the ire of the Theravada Buddhist establishment, the civil source further said.
In the meantime, the extremist monk from Seruwila has gone on record claiming that there was a 15 feet stupa at the locality that belonged to Anuradhapura period.
The Colombo-centric Sinhala news media was also giving a ‘mythical touch’ to the news stories by claiming that a Sinhala driver and owner of the bulldozer, which was hired by the Tamil temple management of the Murukan deity at Maththa'la-malai to slope the ground for the expansion of the temple, had met with accidents at two different places on the same day.
Now, in the eyes of Sinhala Buddhists, Champoor has suddenly become a place where Buddha's relic was once preserved in the past.
A Wikipedia entry has also been created with the claims of ‘Sampur Stupa’ to be hooked up with the stories from the Sinhala press in creating a new myth for seizing the lands of Tamils.
