Humanitarian tragedy unfolds in Vanni
If Tamil Nadu fails to exert pressure on New Delhi to stop the Sri Lankan offensive in Vanni within a few hours, there will be no hope left for civilians who fear being subjugated by the Sri Lankan military, say displaced peoples representatives in Vanni as thousands of civilians were fleeing towards Puthukkudiyiruppu from Tharmapuram and the adjoining areas as Sri Lanka Artillery (SLA) shelling intensified Tuesday. Hospital at Tharmapuram has been displaced and the streets were full of vehicles with Internally displaced civilians.
Makes Sad reading that too on the eve of the Tamil New Year & Thai Pongal. I am reminded of the famous Song ..
Thai Poranthal Vali Porakkume Thangame Thangame !
Let the Dawn of Thai Pongal & Tamil New year brings cheers to the innocent Tamils in the coming year atleast... |
