67-year-old Pillayan Thavam, a Tamil fisherman who has been uprooted for 27 years from Mayiliddi in Valikaamam North in Jaffna, says SL President Maithiripala Sirisena visited his hut in the so-called welfare camp 16 months ago on 21 December 2015 and promised him resettlement within 6 months. The photos taken at his huts during the occasion were used in the mainstream media in the South and outside the island. Following the PR visit of SL President, the occupying military commanders came and asked to identify the location of his land in Mayiliddi, which he did. But, the land was not released as promised. On the contrary, the SL military has started to exploit his land by scooping sand in large scale, Mr Thavam told TamilNet on Sunday. All the trees that stood there and the remains of his properties are all razed to the ground within the last 16 months. http://www.tamilnet.com/art.html?catid=13&artid=38663 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej8SgqBHC9Y
