The Private University in Batticaloa which was taken over by the Sri Lanka Military following the 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks has been officially handed over to its rightful owners, it was reported.
The Military had officially handed over the Batticaloa campus to the founder of the University, former Governor MLAM Hizbullah.
Speaking to media, Hizbullah revealed that the university has been handed over on the directive of President Ranil Wickremeisnghe, based on a request made by the former.
Stating that the Military had been in control of the university over the last four years, Hizbullah said, however, it had been returned after investigations had proven that he had no links to the Easter attacks.
