The Army Commander; his meeting with Division and Brigade Commanders
at the Mannar Area Headquarters before his brief visit to a few
newly-cleared areas, focused largely on matters connected to acceptance
of displaced civilians entering Mannar area, ongoing military attacks
against Tiger strongholds in the Mullaittivu and Killinochchi districts
and pending operations, administrative and other logistics.

security concerns from Wanni Security Forces Commander Major General

in the Divisions and Brigades before the Commander expressed his views
on their contributions and instructed accordingly. During the
interaction, he also specifically made inquiries into the facilities and
infrastructure in two major IDP centres in the Mannar sector where those
families are presently relocated until the government sponsored
resettlement programmes get fully under way.

Manner, the Security Forces overpowered the weekend Black Tigers’
abortive attempts on the Wanni Security Forces Headquarters complex, a
few days ago . |
