The sixth day of 'Maaveerar vaaram', the week of remembrance preceding Maaveerar Naal, was observed in Nallur today.
Relatives of fallen fighters and locals lit lamps in front of the 34 plaques that were erected earlier this week at a memorial hall in Nallur. The plaques list the names of tens of thousands of Tamil fighters who lost their lives in the Tamil struggle for liberation.
Events have taken place across the North-East to commemorate the fallen fighters. Tamils have also been cleaning Thuyilum Illams across the homeland as the nation prepares to mark Maaveerar Naal tomorrow.
