TULF President V. Anandasangree has written to Competent Authority IDP Affairs Maj. Gen (rtd.) G. A. Chandrasiri requesting him to release pregnant mothers and mothers with infants from the welfare centres so that they could be given special care and attention they badly need.
Excerpts of Mr. Sangaree’s letter:
“I shall be very thankful to you if would kindly consider with sympathy the pathetic plight of the above category of IDPs and release them from the welfare centres for specified short periods.
I need not remind you that, till they were rescued from Mullivaikal they had undergone immense hardships. With no proper food and rest and with limited supply of Triposa, they are much under-nourished and weak. Their urgent needs were met only after their arrival in the welfare centres. (more…)

மேன்மை தங்கிய மகிந்த ராஜபக்ஷ,
ஜனாதிபதி,
அலரி மாளிகை,
கொழும்பு - 03
மேன்மை தங்கிய ஜனாதிபதி அவர்கட்கு,
பாதுகாப்பு வலயத்துக்குள் நடப்பவை உலகை அதிர வைக்கும்
விடுதலைப் புலிகள் ஒன்றரை இலட்சம் மக்களை பயணக் கைதிகளாக தடுத்து வைத்திருக்கும் முள்ளிவாய்க்கால் சூனியப் பிரதேசத்தில் நடக்கும் சம்பவங்கள் எனக்கு ஆச்சரியத்தையும் அதிர்ச்சியையும் பெரும் வேதனையையும் தருகிறது. அவர்கள் தற்போது அனுபவிக்கும் நரக வேதனையை அவர்கள் விடுதலைப் புலிகளின் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் இருந்தபோது பட்ட துன்பங்களிலும் பார்க்க மிகக் கூடுதலானதாகும். அவர்களுக்குக் கிடைக்கும் உணவு அவர்களுடைய தேவைகளுக்கு போதுமானதல்ல. அந்த நிலை குறைந்தளவு உணவுப் பண்டம் வருவதாலா அல்லது விடுதலைப் புலிகள் தம் பங்கை முன்கூட்டியே எடுத்து விடுவதாலா, இல்லாமல் இரண்டும் காரணமாக இருக்கலாம். அதன் பயனாக தாய்மாரும், வயோதிபர்களும் போதிய சத்துணவின்றி வாடுகின்றனர். இந் நாட்களில் நீண்ட வரிசையில் தம் பங்கு கஞ்சிக்காக காத்து நிற்கின்றனர். தாய்ப்பால் ஊட்டும் சக்தி இழந்த தாய்மார்கள் தம் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு புட்டி பாலுக்காக பல நாட்களாக காத்திருக்கின்றனர். பயத்துடனும், பீதியுடனும் வாழும் மக்கள் கூடுதலான நேரத்தை பங்கருக்குள்ளேயே செலவிடுகின்றனர்.

“Firing should stop,” Mr. Anandasangaree, a former MP and the leader of the Tamil United Liberation Front party, said in an interview. “The government has no business to kill people like this.”
He said he believed the latest casualty figures because he had heard them directly from a doctor at the hospital that received the dead and injured.
“These are 100 per cent true,” he said.
Both sides in Sri Lanka’s civil war accused each other of killing civilians this weekend, as a hospital reported that hundreds had died during an artillery barrage. (more…)

“politicians like Mr. Anandasangari who have a correct vision of the problem can play a vital role in bringing about lasting peace to the country”
It was the 25th of May 1972, the day following Vesak when I left for Jaffna to take up my first appointment as an uncertificated teacher of English at the Kilinochchi Sinhala Vidyalaya on the basic salary of Rs. 220 a month.
During this period Kilinochchi, Mullaitivu, Vavuniya and Mannar came under the purview of the Regional Director of Education, Jaffna and the post was held by Vijitha Abeyesekera. Next to him was the chief education officer K. Kanagasabhapathi. Kilinochchi was then an education circuit in which the circuit education officer was T. Rasalingam who was later elected to Parliament from the Uduppidy electorate.
When I first stepped down at the Jaffna railway station I heard that a railway compartment had been set on fire as a symbol of protest against the declaration of Sri Lanka as a Democratic Republic. (more…)
