Tamils in East mark Maaveerar Naal

In Trincomalee and Batticaloa, Eelam Tamils gather to mark the 33rd Maaveerar Naal and to remember the sacrifice of those who gave their lives fighting for Tamil liberation.

In Thandiyadi, Batticaloa, Tamils lit a sacrificial flame at 6:05pm to mark the exact moment Lt Shankar, the first LTTE cadre died in 1982.

 

In Trincomalee, Eelam Tamils gather at thuyilum ilams to pay their respect to their Maaveerar.

A memorial was also held in Maavadimunmari, Batticaloa.
