The town was under the control of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam until 2006, when it was captured by the Sri Lanka Armed Forces.




History


The Sampur Coal Power Station has been planned for Sampur since the early-1990s, but the project has stalled due to political wrangling and environmental concerns.
