The Sri Lanka Army (SLA) is preparing remove some of its check points in Mannaar town to open more check points in villages. Two SLA check points located close to the office of the Mannaar zonal education office in the town have been dismantled. These check points were in the area during war and even after the conclusion of the war.

As a part of the new strategy the SLA last Sunday attempted to open new check point at Pallimunai, a coastal village in Mannaar district.

But it was later abandoned due to protest by the villagers.
