Myliddy

Myliddy is a coastal town located in the Jaffna District of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. It is situated on the northern coast of the island, facing the Palk Strait. Historically, Myliddy was a significant fishing harbor and a point of entry for goods and people, though its importance as such has been affected by the Sri Lankan Civil War and subsequent events.

The area around Myliddy is primarily agricultural, with fishing also playing a vital role in the local economy. The landscape consists of sandy beaches and fertile land used for cultivating crops such as vegetables and fruits.

The town's infrastructure was significantly damaged during the conflict in Sri Lanka, and rebuilding efforts have been ongoing. This includes restoration of housing, roads, and other essential services. The displacement of residents during the war had a profound impact on the local population, and resettlement efforts continue to be a priority.

Myliddy has a predominantly Tamil-speaking population. Religious sites in the area include Hindu temples and churches, reflecting the diverse religious beliefs of the community.

Access to Myliddy is generally by road. The town is connected to other parts of the Jaffna peninsula via roadways, though the quality of these roads may vary.
