(Please see chapter 2 for more information on the inquiry). - The Jaffna regional office visited the people of Iranaithivu who were compelled to evacuate from Iranaithivu island in 1992 due to the civil war. Relocated to Iranaimatha Nagar, Poonagari Division, the residents of Iranaithivu sought to return to their original places of residence since the end of the hostilities in the North. As they did not receive a response from government authorities to their request to return, the residents returned to Iranaithivu of their own accord in April 2018. The Jaffna Regional Office carried out a visit to inquire into the social and legal issues, basic needs, and safety of the public on Iranaithivu island. Following this visit, government authorities too had visited Iranaithivu and proceeded to provide assistance for the people to return and settle safely. The HRCSL continues to monitor the situation. 71
