SRI LANKA: MILITARY PRESENCE IN NORTHERN PROVINCE – ANALYSIS

The Northern Provincial Council has asked the Sri Lankan defence forces to vacate from their province.

But according to the Sri Lankan ministry of defence the total area under the forces in NPC is less than five per cent. Isn’t the army justified in occupying a small portion of land in a former conflict zone? What are your comments?
