The Sri Lankan army gifted troops serving in Jaffna 50" colour televisions in a what it described as a "welfare measure".

At a ceremony which took place earlier this month, 14 televisions were distributed to the soldiers, which followed an earlier distribution of TVs in March.
The event took place amid ongoing calls from the Tamil people in Jaffna and across the North-East, for the area to be demilitarised over 6 years after the end of the armed conflict.

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
