The Survey Department’s attempt to continue their ongoing inspection of the lands surrounding a Naval base in Kayts in order to expand it, was halted by protestors.
The Survey Department attempted to conduct their survey for a second day on Tuesday 4th April, to expand and make the existing Naval base a permanent fixture in Kayts. Upon discovering the secretive survey which was conducted the previous day, locals from the Tambaddy village in Kayts organized a protest to resist the attempt to forcibly grab more land. The Naval base currently exists on occupied land that belongs to locals in Thambaddy, Kayts.

The protestors peacefully protested the Survey Department’s attempt by blocking the oncoming vehicles with placards and slogans. The Naval Officers present were seen taking photographs and videos of the protestors in order to intimidate them.
The Survey Department withdrew from the site following the ongoing protest.
