Sri Lanka Army (SLA) is constructing a new camp in the ManalKaadu area, 3km south of Point Pedro in Jaffna Peninsula, said the Voice of Tigers (VoT), a radio broadcast service run by Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), according to local media reports Sunday.

Tension prevails in Manalkaadu and surrounding villages.

Residents are barred from collecting firewood and generally move about in the area surrounding the location where the camp is allegedly being built, according to reports.
