The Northern Provincial Council has called on the Sri Lankan president, prime minister and leader of the opposition to release Pilavu land.

Writing to President Sirisena, Prime Minister Wikremesinghe and Sampanthan MP, the council members called for an intervention in order to resolve the peaceful agitations of the Pilavu protestors.

“They are fighting for their rights without any political background,” the letter stated, adding, “if their reasonable demand is neglected it will result in serious consequences in the political background.”
