Members of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam protest against the Mahaweli Irrigation Project and the occupation of traditional Tamil lands in Northern and Eastern Sri Lanka by the Sinhalese and the Sri Lankan Army. The protest took place outside city hall in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on September 14, 2018. The Mahaweli Irrigation Project (Mahaweli Development Program) was initiated in 1961 and is the largest multipurpose national development Program in the history of Sri Lanka. According to the Sri Lankan government, the purpose of the project is the generation of hydroelectric power, controlling flood, making irrigation facilities for dry zone cultivation, and settlement of landless and unemployed families by constructing and developing physical and social infrastructure required for human habitation by using the waters of the Mahaweli River. Sri Lankan ethnic Tamils oppose the project as many see it simply as a land-grab scheme by the Sri Lankan government to displace Tamils and settle Sinhalese on traditional Tamil lands. The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) is a government in exile among the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora which aims to keep alive the idea of Tamil Eelam, a state which TGTE aspires to create in the north and east provinces of Sri Lanka.
