Sri Lankan army builds toilets at Jaffna school

A military ceremony was held at a school in Jaffna last month, to mark the opening of toilets built by Sri Lankan soldiers.

Sri Lankan troops from the 12 Gemunu Watch and 4 Vijayabahu Infantry Regiments, which come under the 523 Brigade, built the toilet facilities at the Drieberg College in Chavakachcheri. Several senior military officials were present for the opening ceremony.

They were provided the funds for the project through a private individual contribution, reports a military website.

The Drieberg College was founded in 1875 by American Missionaries.

We need your support

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
