(Lanka-e-News- 11.May.2015, 12.25 PM) The residents of Sidhampuram and Poonthottam , Vavuniya displaced during the war and now in refugee camps are experiencing untold hardships for the last 26 years , and are continuing to suffer because the authorities have not taken adequate measures to re settle them.
In these refugee camps there are 243 families comprising 513 members . They have not been re settled because in Kilinochchi and Mulaitivu where they resided earlier they don’t own any lands.
These displaced refugees say , though the Vavuniya district secretary took action to re settle them in fresh lands in Nedunkarni , that has not been implemented yet .
Right now , these abysmally suffering refugees in the two refugee camps have no facilities except water in the wells; they have no other basic facilities including those conducive to hygiene and health , sanitation and schooling .Besides , because these refugees do not get even their dry rations ,they have to go to the neighboring villages and earn a meager livelihood on a daily basis by doing menial work .
They are in a most pitiful state for the last 26 long years , in a country where there are many to sympathize with animals , trees and stones , yet there is none to show sympathy towards these forlorn humans devastated mentally , physically and emotionally for no fault of their own .

I have a uniquely cunning idea. To get out of the poisonous soup and avoid paying millions in pirate-lawyer fees (anyway why pay anything at all when your nephew who is the most brilliant and intellectual synthetic lawyer in the universe who has the most warm-hearted possibility of serving his highly beloved uncle free of charge?) Baya-of-the-Law Gotha should sight The Wild Life Protection Act and get himself classified as an ENDANGERED SPECIES OF THE MOST DANGEROUS KIND.
