The protest and march was organized at Batticaloa twon on 11 of June, more than 200 women, men and youth representing from Kithul, Sarvodayanagar, Welikakandi, Thumpalaicholai, Urukamam and Kopaveli villages. Women'and Men leaders and activists from NAFSO national office and Batticaloa staff were participated.
Voice of the people-
, "We were faced multiple cheating. Why these officials are attempting to avoid us like this?
We expect the officials come forward and explain any difficulty they face to deliver their services to people?" Why District Secretary of Batticoloa left her office without listen to women or accepting the petition.
Lavena Hasanthi, women coordinator of NAFSO said at the protest, "the women in the Marumalachchi women will not give up the struggle. They are ready to continue this struggle with getting support from the units, until they assert their rights, fulfill basic needs of those affected women, resettle families in their lands and also ensure protection."

The group dispersed without any positive results but with high hope and courage to continue the struggle.
