<h1>Sri Lankan President Vows to Return Military-Held Lands to Tamil Community in Jaffna Amid Protests for Jobs</h1> Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has pledged to return lands in Jaffna, held by the military, to the northern Tamil community. During his visit to Jaffna, he emphasized the importance of rightful land ownership and outlined plans to expedite the return process. These lands were seized during the conflict with the LTTE and used for military purposes. Despite some releases since 2015, significant areas remain under military control. Concurrently, unemployed graduates in Jaffna protested against the lack of job opportunities, demanding government action. The Jaffna Magistrate Court allowed the protest to proceed peacefully.
