The parents of fallen Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres were honoured in Udayarkattu and Puthukkudiyiruppu in Mullaitivu District earlier this week.
In Puthukkudiyiruppu, over 100 Maaveerar families were honoured and given coconut saplings.
In Udayarkattu, a flag was hoisted by Joseph Muniamma, the mother of the four fallen cadres. Locals lit lamps and laid flowers to pay their respects to those who had sacrificed their lives for the Tamil struggle for liberation. During November, commemorative events take place across the North-East to honour their lives.
Parents of the Maaveerar were also given coconut saplings.
