Unemployed Tamil graduates from across the Northern Province protested against the lack of e government jobs available to them on Saturday.
The graduates staged their protest outside the Jaffna government secretariat.
Following police intervention at the protest, eventually a meeting was set up between the protesters and the government agent, N Vethanayakan, who pledged to raise the issue with the Sri Lankan government.
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
