Vavuniya Citizens Committee calls for Maaveerar Naal commemoration

The Vavuniya Citizens Committee called this week for Tamils across the world to commemorate Maaveerar Naal, remembering the sacrifice of those who died for the Tamil struggle. 

"On November 27th as usual under aegis of the Citizens Committee of Vauviniya, exactly at 6.05 PM, the Vavuniya Church bell will toll three times and before a model tombstone a common lamp will be lit as a mark of respect to pay homage to the great souls who laid their lives," the committee said in a statement published earlier this week. 

"We call upon all the family members of the freedom fighters, their kith and kin, friends, Tamil patriots, civil society and human rights members to participate and pay an emotional homage to the brave souls."
