The upgrading of the Jaffna army complex will cost 52 million rupees according to the Army, with the website stating that the renovations were so that,
"Battle-fatigued troops serving the Security Force Headquarters - Jaffna (SFHQ-J) would hereafter be able to rest and relax freely".
Some of the facilities offered at the military camp for the soldiers included,
"a state-of-the-art air-conditioned recreation complex, equipped with a 350-seat theatre auditorium cum cinema hall, spacious cafeteria, billiard hall, saloon, tailor shop, etc all under one roof".
