Militarization of Vanni plans are officially out:

New security plan to stop LTTE’s resurgence

By Tissa Ravindra Perera
A special security plan will be implemented in the near future to stop a resurgence of the LTTE activities, military sources said. This special plan will include an increase in the number of military intelligence operatives, Special Forces and Commandos as well as establishing new Army, Navy and Air Force bases in the North and East.

“The military Intelligence operatives, Special Forces and Commandos will play a major role in this plan. Their role is to monitor and stop any guerilla activity in the liberated areas,’ said a top military official. “Their numbers will also be increased to meet these objectives. Also the mobility of the Army will be increased by the purchase of new Armoured Personnel Carriers”.

He said the plan also envisages increasing the number of Army, Navy and Air Force bases in the North and East to prevent the LTTE from regrouping in jungle covered areas. Two new Security Force Headquarters will be established in the East and West of the A9 road bringing the number of such establishments in the area to five.

“Right now there are only three Security Force Headquarters in the region, Jaffna, Wanni and the East,’ he said. “Also Navy will build a series of bases in the coastal areas recaptured from the LTTE,”

Meanwhile the Air Force will establish two bases in the Iranmadu and Mulleyaweli areas, where the security forces discovered two major LTTE runways. “Two air strips will also be built so that Wanni supplies can be supplied by air at any given time,” he said.
