The Maritimepattu local council has issued a notice to the military to shut down a beauty salon operated by the army in Mullaitivu, citing serious harm to the livelihoods of war-affected residents.
According to reports, Chairman of the Maritimepattu Pradeshiya Sabha, Chinnarasa Logeswaran, stated that the decision was made following complaints from local residents.
The notice pertains to the closure of the “Blue Bells Salon,” a beauty salon run by the military on forest department land in Kepapulavu, which falls under the Maritimepattu Divisional Secretariat in Mullaitivu.
Condemning the military’s involvement in such activities, Logeswaran pointed out that these actions severely impact the lives and economy of the local communities.
Logeswaran, a representative of the Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK), further warned that legal action would be taken if the council’s directive is not implemented. (Newswire)
