Former parliamentarian M. K Sivagilingaum.

He said that the local government administration and the library staff are to meet on Friday to discuss a incident that took place last Saturday.

“A group of people from the South who were denied access to the library as a seminar of medical staff was in progress made their way after arguing with the library staff caused damaged to books and reading material” said Sivagilingam.

Army Spokesman Major General Ubaya madewala said he was not aware of such incident.

Sivagilingam said that groups from the South were housed in government building and this was taking undue advantage of Government recourses.

He also said that some groups from the South were using their connections with the security forcers to not pay for their lodgings with Jaffna hoteliers.
This kind of behaviour had created tension between the locals and the visiting parties from the south says the former MP.

The Army spokesman denied chargers.

The North has seen a influx of southern groups coming on sight seeing after the end of the war.
