Sri Lanka's 551 Brigade troops were garlanded by Tamil schoolchildren from the Alvai Ambal Vidyalaya, as they organised a ceremony overseeing donations from the 'Old Anandians group of Southern Province' last Friday.

The previous day, soldiers from the 51 Division “joined hands” with the ‘Kerala Astrologer Operational Foundation’ at the Paramsothi Vidyalaya in Kondavil, to donate items to Tamil children, reports a military website.
The events come as a spokesperson from the Tamil Civil Society Forum said militarisation was “at its peak” in the Tamil North-East.
We need your support
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
