Public invited for Victory Day

The Victory Day parade organised for the third consecutive year will be held tomorrow at the Galle Face Green to commemorate the nation’s military victory over the world’s most ruthless terrorist outfit and the dawn of peace in Sri Lanka after 30 years of bloodshed.

The Triforces, Police, Special Task Force and Civil Defence Force will join in the parade. Disabled soldiers of the war will also take part in the parade. The parade would be colourful with various cultural items. It would also exhibit the military ware and vehicles used in the humanitarian operation.

Attractive displays will be conducted by the Triforces personnel on air, land and sea. Facilities have been provided for the public to view the event. A gate near the old Parliament would be open to the public to enter the premises.

Entry is free of charge and no invitation card is required.

The Victory Day Parade Organisation Committee requests those who wish to view this event to be in their seats before 8am.
