The Sri Lankan military has released 38 acres of private land in Kilinochchi back to the GA on Tuesday.
The land in Karaichchi and Kandaavalai was illegally acquired by the military many years ago.
Local officials are attempting to identify the rightful owners of the land, the Uthayan reports.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
