Jaffna won`t be accessible overland

newsHouston13332.jpg

The sources said that the Navy would continue to facilitate civilian movements between Trincomalee and Kankesanthurai. The Navy Tuesday moved approximately 1,000 civilians who were stranded in Vavuniya to KKS. `They were moved overland to Trincomalee and from there taken on board a passenger ship,` a senior spokesman said. He denied the possibility of the re-opening of the Muhamalai entry/exit point in the near future. `We have so far moved about 4,600 people free of charge,` he said.

The recent battles destroyed the Muhamalai entry/exit point. The military said that the LTTE initiated the August 11 offensive with a devastating artillery strike on the point.

Jaffna-based army officers said that several soldiers and civilians died in the attack. Artillery fire also damaged dozens of vehicles at the site. A senior military official pointed out that the Nordic truce monitoring mission acknowledged this.

The road remains closed since August 11 evening. Ground forces are in the process of consolidating their positions after evicting terrorists from their frontline positions.

The LTTE demands the immediate re-opening of the road. The government wants to use the Trincomalee-KKS sea route. The ICRC is seeking a tripartite agreement to facilitate civilian movements. An ICRC spokesman said that 161 civilians were evacuated by ship. `This was under the ICRC flag,` he said. Subsequently the ICRC suspended its role in this operation due to LTTE opposition. `We cannot operate without the consent of both parties. This is our worldwide policy,` the spokesman said, `We are in the process of discussing the issue with both parties.` He expressed the belief that they could reach agreement on a safe route.

The Navy uses a Chinese-built Landing Craft and a chartered vessel to move civilians. Sea movements are taking place despite the absence of Nordic naval monitors. The mission suspended naval monitoring following the May 11 attempt to target passenger ferry Pearl Cruise carrying about 700 off duty personnel.

The SL military is transporting tamils with troops and ammunition. :roll:

Without SLMM and without the tamils the ships will be attacked. :roll:

It therefore suits the SL military to keep the A9 closed. :roll:

In Jaffna,

1 Kg of sugar is Rs.250.00, :shock:

1Kg of rice Rs.120, :shock:

1Kg of flour is Rs.150, :shock:

How can poor people afford to buy them? A poor mother gave poison to her 2 children and killed herself after starving for more than a week. :(:(:(
