  • According to this article (http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl1711/17110120.htm), the Palaly-Kankesanthurai complex was a vital objective of the LTTE in the battle for Jaffna in 2000.
  • This high strategical security zone was established to prevent artilary attacks from kalmune point and advancement from LTTE from muhamalai. Since kalmunai point and elephant pass was captured by army, this security zone will be removed. This security zone saved so many lives of sri lankan soldiers
  • This military complex saved many lives of innocent tamils. I must thank lt. gen sarath fonseka.
  • The Sinhalese army has forcefully occupied this Tamil fertile land which produced plenty of food for the Tamils of Jaffna who are now deprived of their source of food.
  • Palaly-Kankesanthurai MILITARYCOMPLEX Is Not Now.These Are 2nd World War Time An Continew.Now Ho is Responcesable ?? ... ++K.Sivade France++
  • THE SLA IS STILL OCCUPYING THIS AREA AND NOW THEY ARE BRINGING IN SINGALESE SETTLERS AND THE TAMILS STILL LIVES IN CAMPS AND HUTS
  • there is no rehabilitation benefiting the Tamil Eelam people, they government learnt nothing from the war. Fighting the government is the only way for freedom.
