Sri Lanka - Security Forces Headquarters-Jaffna and Housing Scheme for Deserving Families

‘’………. A 2009 report and supporting documentation indicated that the Sri Lankan military planned to expand
greatly over the next five years. ………. maintaining a Military presence with strength and depth to hold the
strategically important Townships and Communication Centers is critical in an overall perspective to subdue
any acts of Terrorism or Sabotage reoccurring whilst continuing with Pacification Operations to win over the
public. Conduct of Aggressive Intelligence Operations and pursuing Psychological Operations to rehabilitate the
mind set of the public to tilt their affinity will also be facilitated by such a deployment. In this context the Sri
Lanka Army persists with the view that the control of the major Townships, Population Centers and the
Population should be vested with them ……..’’ - Sri Lanka Army - Troop Strength,

1.What is the policy of this ‘’Housing Scheme’’ please?

What is the criterion of ‘’Deserving Families’’ please?

2. ‘’Psychological Operations’’ at its best:

The Occupying Army started building individual houses around Jaffna district in the three months preceding
the General Election of August 2020: one lady was interviewed in the housewarming ceremony of the first
house: she said governmnt offices did not help her, but the Army came forward to find funding to build a
house: she praises the Sinhalese Army for helping the Tamils without showing the ethnic difference and goes
on to say that that is how the ethnic conflict can be resolved.
Soon she lets the cat out of the bag:
இராணுவம் ஏன் யாழ்ப்பாணத்தை விட்டு வெளியேற வேண்டும்?
