Wilpattu blossoms again

After Army mine clearing operation:


Wilpattu National Park

During their unrelenting and risky operations, specifically designed to rid all kinds of buried LTTE mines and unexploded devices (UXOs) from the Wilpattu National Park, now open for visitors, professionally trained de-miners of 5 Field Engineer Regiment of Corps of Engineers have unearthed two Anti Tank Mines, three claymore mines and ninety-two P4-MK1-type anti personnel mines, in addition to many other UXOs.

Both Anti Tank Mines unearthed from the Wilpattu National Park had been systematically planted close to Katrambavilluwa, the location where Tiger terrorists after triggering a powerful pressure mine cold-bloodedly murdered seven local tourists on May 26, 2006 while they were aboard their moving jeep. Katrambavilluwa lies about 48 kms to the north, away from the main entrance along Puttalam-Anuradhapura highway. Army.lk
