Commendable Quote
  Europe which has a total population of 800 million is made up of 45 language based nation states. South Asia which has a total population of one billion, (1000 million) is comprised of four states. Who is preventing and therefore benefiting by limiting new nation-states in South Asia?

Navy compels the resettled families to get away.

The Sri Lanka Navy is compelling people resettled in areas near the jetty in Southern Karainagar, to get away from their settlements, it is learnt.

The Sri Lankan Navy based at Neelankadu in Southwest Karainagar has been forcibly occupying these densely populated residential areas in South and Southwest Karainagar. Following the Memorandum of Understanding between the LTTE and the Government of Sri Lanka, the Navy abandoned the residential areas to some extent. On hearing of this abandonment the people, who had twelve years ago left these areas due to the military operations of the state security forces in the early 1991, went back and settled down in sheds and huts they temporarily put up. It's not even two years since the people resettled but the Navy men are now pressing on these people to vacate the area on the pretext that the resettled inhabitants would be a hindrance to their security activities.

These residents are further instructed to find some areas far away so that this Naval Base could be free of any insecurity around. The poor people, who felt a bit relieved when they put up shelters at last in their native location, are again undergoing nightmares of imminent displacements as the Navy men of the Karainagar Base are persistent and constantly pressing these people to leave the area soon.
