The Sri Lankan military ceremoniously declared open a new extension to the 563 Brigade Headquarters in Vanni this week.
The newly constructed cooking house was inaugurated by Major General Boniface Perera, Sri Lanka's commander of the Vanni headquarters.
It was constructed entirely by Sri Lankan troops, with building materials alone amounting to Rs 8.7 million.
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
