New Buddhist stupa unveiled by Sri Lankan army in Kilinochchi



The Sri Lankan army's 1st Battalion Sinha regiment celebrated its 59th anniversary by unveiling a new Buddhist stupa in Kilinochchi.



The newly constructed stupa was built by Sri Lankan troops, and is located at the battalion's headquarters in Kilinochchi.

The construction comes despite growing calls from Tamils in the North-East, as well as international NGOs and UN member states for the military to draw back from the Tamil areas.
