”When the CM went to Thunukkai, Mallavi and other villages in the region the farmers complained that the Security Forces have taken large areas of land and are doing farming and are depriving them of their livelihood. They are not able to cut down trees from their own compound to make doors and windows for their houses whereas lorry-loads of timber are being cut and transported by people from the South with the support of the Security forces” -June 2014 Situation report from Jaffna Catholic Diocese, http://www.scribd.com/doc/232572616/Situation-Report-June-2014-Jaffna-Catholic-Diocese-Justice-and-Peace-Commission
