The Northern Provincial Council plans to establish a memorial in honour of those who were massacred during the final stages of the armed conflict at Mullivaikkal before this year's anniversary of the deaths on May 18th.
Each NPC member has pledged to provide one lakh of their own allocation towards to the project, which was first discussed by the Council on November 4th, 2015.
A nine member committee has been appointed to oversee the setting up of the memorial. The committee, headed by Anthony Jeyanathan, includes the opposition leader S Thavarasa, M Sivanesan, T Ravikaran, T Pasupathipillai, T Sukirthan, Ayub Asmin, M Thyagaraja and K Sareswaran.
Work towards the memoral will begin following the 43rd sitting of the NPC due to take place on January 12th.
