Tamil Hindus working on tea plantations in Thambathamne and Thangamamy
Estates were stopped when they tried to bring rice, vegetables and tea
past a military checkpoint yesterday, and had to reclaim their goods
when the army tried to divert them to a Buddhist temple, according to
Sivam.

A team trying to deliver aid shipments to the hard-hit Ampara district
was blocked at an army checkpoint, despite promises by top local
government officials that clearance would be granted, said Sivam.

Three Tamil relief trucks heading to Kallar, southeast of Batticaloa,
were stopped at the Chettipalayam checkpoint by elite soldiers from the
Special Task Force who forcibly unloaded the relief supplies and took
over distribution, according to Kurukulasingam Thevarajah, Batticaloa
office director.

Another shipment was delayed at nearby Pillaiyarada checkpoint,
Thevarajah added.
