Another thing to worry about.

I don't think there were that many refugees from Eastern province as the LTTE kept doing "strategical withdrawals" but did not really drag the civilians along with them. Also the fact that large number of eastern Tamils supporting Karuna group would have helped to ease the situation where as in the North, among the civilians, govt suspects to be large number of LTTE caders who have come as wounded civilians. This make the transition a difficult task. |
