Troops close in on Kokavil

Troops attached to the 574 Brigade closed in on the Kokavil town centre to the south of Kilinochchi last afternoon, Army sources said.

According to military sources, troops are now at the perimeter of the famous Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation transmission tower at Kokavil.

The Kokavil area fell into LTTE hands in November 1990, after the Tigers launched an attack on the Army detachment at the SLRC tower, from which Rupavahini had transmitted its programmes to the entire northern part of the country.

The imminent taking over of the entire Kokavil area by the Army would deprive the LTTE of using this transmission tower for any terrorist activities in the future.

On January 29, 1985, the packed south-bound Yal Devi train coming from Kankasanthurai, Jaffna was blasted by the Tigers with a landmine when it was nearing the Murikandi-Kokavil station. The train with thirteen carriages had security forces and Police personnel as well as a large number of non-combatants on board when it was blown up by the LTTE.

Twenty-eight soldiers and eleven non-combatants lost their lives, and twenty soldiers, five non-combatants and three police constables, suffered injuries in this explosion.

In 1990 the Kokavil camp was valiantly defended by a small detachment of troops commanded by Lieutenant S.U Aladeniya, who was posthumously awarded the highest medal for gallantry, the Parama Weera Vibhushana (PWV), for defending the camp until it was overrun by the Tigers on July 11, 1990. He had received orders to abandon the camp, but refused to do so as a majority of his troops were injured by then and completely immobile. He was the first to be awarded the prestigious PWV medal.

His detachment had been providing security for the Rupavahini relay tower in Kokavil. Lieutenant Aladeniya s men had fought continually for fourteen days, despite running short of food, water and ammunition. The fall of Kokavil in 1990 gave the LTTE much propaganda mileage.
