Story of Selavarani

Story of Selavarani

Satyaseelan Selvarani is a widow living in the address of 6 mile post, Kappalthurei, China Bay Trincomalee. She is a mother of five. Selvarani is whiling away a poor life with the protection of her parents in the village. She has been living lonely since her husband was killed by unknown group on 1^st of September 2006. She has to face many difficulties living with children without breadwinner of the family.

In the mean time, the police and the army group had informed to her that there were some hidden weapons under the ground in her house so, they wanted to excavate the ground to get them out. Then, they had excavated the land in the house using an excavator on 10^th of July 2012. They had said that they had a court order to do that.

So, Selvarani had gone to the China Bay police to complain against that incident but the police did not accept the complain 20^th of August 2012. The police had advised to repair the house getting support from NGOs. Selvarani had tried to concern this incident to relevant Divisional Secretary but the Divisional Secretary also did not accept this incident at all.

Unfortunately, rests of furniture even doors and windows in the house had been stolen by some persons after the forces excavated the house.

Our problem is that although the forces got an action like this expressing about security reasons, why is not Selvarani given any compensation. Why is not complain accepted by authorities? What will be happen their future and security of life?

Who responsible for this?

(This story was said by Selvarani when NAFSO met her on 22^nd of August 2012 at Kappalthrei.)
