The Sri Lankan army and police have asked the passengers who intend to travel from Vavuniya and Mannar to south to provide their full details including the address where they will stay in the south. The passengers in Vavuniya are normally screened at the police station located in the Vavuniya train station as well as in the checkpoint at Eeraperiyakulam. But following the attack on Anuradhapura air base last Monday checking has been further tightened and additional regulations have been imposed by the security forces.

Except the vehicles of parliamentarians, everything else are taken to the motor vehicle inspection area at Thekkaamkadu ground for the screening before the passengers in the vehicles are allowed to go to south.

The passengers from Mannar are interrogated by the armed forces at Mathavachchi checkpoint and both the passengers and the vehicles are screened here.

Passengers in Vavuniya told Eelam Nation Vavuniya correspondent that the actions of the Sri Lankan security forces are creating enormous problems for the innocents.

They said that the armed forces will not be able to stop the LTTE attacks in the Sinhala areas but unnecessarily creating troubles for them by tightening security further and by imposing more regulations.
