Military places Buddha statue inside Mannar Hindu temple


The Sri Lankan military placed a statue of Buddha inside the Tamil Hindu temple in Murunkan, Mannar.

The statue is the latest in the growing number of the Buddha statues and Buddhist stupas that have been erected by the military in the Tamil North-East following the end of the armed conflict in 2009.
