Workers who were engaged in fencing the Thileepan’s monument have been intimidated by the military intelligence operatives.
Following this monument got renovated; activities of placing the security fences around this monument are being done by the Jaffna Municipality.
Meanwhile, those in civil clothes went to the scene while the municipality workers were doing their works in placing the security fences around the Thileepan’s monument, introduced them as military intelligence, and intimidated the workers.
The military intelligence operatives intimidated the workers by asking “Don’t you like to live happily?”, “Would you like to eat rice and dhal?”
Consequently, the frightened workers, who returned to the office after giving up the placing fence around the Thileepan’s monument, stated that they would not get engaged in these works.
Subsequently, by hiring the temporary workers from outside, the Jaffna municipality has completed the remaining works of placing the security fence around the Thileepan’s monument.
