The Sri Lankan army have laid the foundation stone for a new building at a military-run holiday resort in Kayankerni last week.

A new officer’s mess is to be constructed at the “Coral Cove” holiday resort, which is operated by the Sri Lankan security forces.

According to an official military website, the resort is for the use of military personnel and their families, as well as civilians, with everyone required to fill out an application form in advance.

The resort is located in Kayankerni, a village north of Batticaloa town.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
