Indian Neo-Imperialism will engulf SL economy
--India is trying to reap the benefits of the liberated and geo-economically important Eastern province by interfering in the country’s internal politics.
---areas that are economically important to the country such as Nilaweli, Pulmudai, Valachchenai and an area belonging to the Kantale Sugar Mill had been given to India.
“The oil exploration in Mannar had been divided into seven areas and was given to a Norwegian Company called NOPEC. NOPEC did the exploration and they sold the area on Tender. But India said that they need a part of Mannar basin without buying it which the government had to provide. Then Norway stepped out of the agreement claiming Rs. 11 million which the government also had to pay
----India also promised to build the Sampur coal power plant in agreement with the government that they need the electricity generation, transmission and the authority of collecting the money of the project which the government had granted. Although the government managed to free the Sampur area from the LTTE, 5200 people still in three refugee camps at Trincomalee are not been given permission to own their lands as the
lands had been given to India
why India is interested of Pulmude and Nilaveli Areas?
Thorium: strategic nuclear fuel of India (the way to Indian Expansionism)
The Pulmoddai site is rated as one of the best in the world with a heavy mineral content of 60-70 percent, making Lanka Mineral Sands one of the world’s low cost mineral sand producers. This means that up to 70 tonnes of heavy minerals can be recovered from 100 tonnes of raw sand. “This mine is supposed to be the richest in the world,”. The main deposit consists of around 60 percent ilmenite, eight percent rutile and 8-10 percent zircon. Mahaweli Surveys commissioned by the company indicate that the heavy minerals actually come from the island’s interior, being washed down from the central massif by rivers such as the Mahaweli, as well as the Yan Oya.
Heavy minerals are released when igneous (volcanic) rock gets eroded by rain and wind - a process that takes millions of years. Recent studies have given rise to a belief that the volumes of heavy minerals that get washed down from the central hills have diminished with the damming of the Mahaweli. The company has mined only a limited area in Pulmoddai - the first deposit that was surveyed in 1971 with the help of the Geological Survey Department. This revealed a heavy mineral content of 3.7 million tonnes with a cut off grade of 30 percent. At the present rate of mining, these reserves are estimated to last for about 25-30 years. Other deposits found in subsequent surveys between Mullaithivu and Nilaveli have remained untouched...

India's National Thermal Power Corp (NTPC), the sixth largest thermal power generator in the world, will build a 500-MW thermal plant in Sampur, a large and populous fishing village overlooking Trincomalee port.
'The project will pave the way for affordable electricity to the people of the region and take India-Sri Lanka ties to a new level,' NTPC Chairman and Managing Director Ram Sharan Sharma told IANS.
Involving a $500-million investment, a joint venture company of the NTPC and the Ceylon Electricity Board will implement the project spread over 500 acres of land. A jetty is also to come up in Sampur.
time to wake up...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
