Staff at Jaffna Teaching Hospital held a remembrance event for the massacre of over 60 doctors, staff and patients committed by Indian Peacekeeping Forces (IPKF) in 1987. The memorial event was also attended by survivors of the attack as well as friends and relatives of the victims.
TamilNet reports that Indian government donors requested that the administration take down the memorial site within the hospital dedicated to those killed in the massacre, but that this request was refused.
