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.

""""""""""""""" - The LTTE, by seeking powers in relation to law and
order, is endeavoring to legitimize its Police Force in the Northeast
area. In fairness this is a legitimate demand, as the Tamil Eelam
Police force has been in operation for over 10 years in
LTTE-controlled areas. Visitors from the South have been full of
compliments for this bribery-free and efficient police force. Further,
the Tamil people have lost faith in the khaki-clad Sinhalese Police
force and would rather feel at ease with the blue-uniformed Tamil
Eelam police force.

From an International precedence perspective, the Bougainville Peace
Agreement signed between the Papua New Guinea Government and
Bougainville rebels provides for an establishment of a Police force in
the conflict region. The Oslo agreement between the Palestinians and
the Israelis also allowed for an establishment of a local Police force
for the Palestinian area.

The Devolution Proposals, prepared by Prof. G.L. Peiris and Neelan
Thiruchevam and published in August 1995, also contained provisions
for a separate Police force for the Northeast region. Para 3.1 of the
proposals stated "There will be a regional police service headed by a
Regional Police Commissioner appointed by the Chief Minister, in
consultation with the Governor of the Region. The Regional Police
Commissioner will be responsible to, and function under the control
of, the Relevant Chief Minister. The Regional police service will
investigate all offenses against persons and property."


If there are international precedents to establish a Police force for
an autonomous region from scratch and precedence in the devolution
proposals offered by the Sri Lankan Government, then it is justifiable
to seek to use the Police force, which has already been established
and has been in force for over a decade. Therefore the LTTE's demand
to utilize its Police force in the NorthEast is very legitimate,
practical and with precedence.
