Praja Abilashi team was organized a meeting with the Companionship Facilitator of JHAH, Rev. Thomas John as the special guest. There was a lengthy dialogue on Kalpitiya, Paanama, Irudeniyaya abd Sampur land issues.
There should be a national response to sustain the livelihoods of coastal communities. That should be based on
Economy, Culture and Environment of the communities.
That could be based on VGGT & Tourism research we implemented last year.
How to bring the dialogue of customary rights of the coastal communities is one major agenda item in our programs.
Education campaign and mobilization on resettlement of Sampur, Paanama and Valikamam north, Mullikulam, Paalamunai displaced communities is one major work ahead of us.
There should be wider consultation among people how to proceed forward. That was one dialogue we had among us and came up with a plan. Let us continue our dialogue and get the rights of affected people.
