Dozens of posters commemorating Maaveerar Naal, the annual Tamil remembrance day on November 27, have appeared in Vavuniya.
Posters have been put up on the walls and billboards of streets in Vavuniya town, including at the bus station, Circle Road, Iluppaiyadi Road and by the Sinthamani Pillayar temple.
Similar posters appeared at Jaffna University last week, commemorating the day that Tamils across the world remember their war dead.
Earlier this month the Northern Provincial Council said the month of November will be dedicated to planting trees.
Last year, events took place in the North-East in secret, amid heavy military deployment and a warning issued by the military spokesperson that any act of remembrance would be viewed as the terrorist act. The military ordered that no temple or church bells should toll on November 27.
