The army held a ceremony at a Hindu temple in Chulipuram, Jaffna, as it oversaw a donation of both wheelchairs to elderly and disabled Tamils, and bicycles to schoolchildren.

The latest such event comes as the military continues to exert its massive presence across the North-East, with a continued intrusion of civilian life in the region.
Earlier this year the Society for Threatened Peoples, detailed the pervasive militarisation that continues to take place across the North-East a decade since the end of the armed conflict.
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
