A continuous protest is currently underway in Thayiddy, Kankesanthurai demanding to remove illegally built Buddhist vihara on private land with the support of military personnel.
The protest was launched by political parties including Tamil National People’s Front (TNPF) initially along with land owners whose land are under military custody and later university students, youth groups and other political parties also joined the protest which commenced yesterday.
The continous protest was launched after it came to light that moves are underway to acquire another eight acres of private land around the Vihara premises. The land owners categorically refused to give their lands or accept any other alternative arrangements other than returning their own ancestral lands. (Northeastern Monitor/February 12/2025)
