More than 250 Maaveerar families gathered in Palai, Kilinochchi today to remember their family members who sacrificed their lives for the Tamil struggle for self-determination.
Remembrance events are taking place across the North-East and diaspora this month in the lead up to Maaveerar Naal which falls on November 27. Tamils in the homeland and across the world will pay their respects to the tens of thousands of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres who gave their lives to the liberation struggle.
