Mullaitivu District, Administrative district with coastal line in Northern Province, Sri Lanka
The district spans 2,617 square kilometers along the northeastern coast, featuring mangrove forests, lagoons, and beaches bordering the Indian Ocean.
The region underwent significant changes after September 1978 when it was formed from parts of Vavuniya, Jaffna, Mannar, and Trincomalee districts.
The population includes 86 percent Sri Lankan Tamils who maintain traditions through religious ceremonies, particularly at Hindu temples across the district.
The district contains 136 Grama Niladhari administrative divisions managed by six Divisional Secretariats that coordinate local governance and public services.
Mullaitivu Lagoon provides essential resources for local fishermen while supporting diverse wildlife species within its surrounding mangrove ecosystem.
