Preparations are underway at Vakarai Thuyilum Illam in Batticaloa ahead of Maaveerar Naal which will take place on Wednesday.
Former Tamil National People's Front (TNPF) MP Selvarajah Kajendren was present alongside a group of volunteers.
Last week, Tamil volunteers preparing for Maaveerar Naal in Batticaloa were summoned by the Sri Lankan police over their preparation activities.
Velayudhan Baskaran, a volunteer organising memorial activities at Tharavai Thuyilum Illam in Batticaloa, said the Officer in Charge (OIC) issued explicit warnings against organising any commemorative events.
“They told me we cannot use loudspeakers, sing songs, tie flags, or even use karthigai poo (a traditional flower of remembrance), we cannot say that we are doing anything in remembrance of our heroes,” Baskaran said. "We were warned that any such actions would result in legal consequences."
