Schools unable to reopen in Vanni

More than 260,000 people and more than 200 schools in Vanni have already displaced. The displaced schools that have lost their permanent abode were operating in the facilities of the few remaining non-displaced schools causing huge problems of space.

Even the facilities of these non-displaced schools are presently used as refuge for the very recent IDPs and this is preventing the re-opening of the schools for the New Year.

In the meantime on Sunday around noon artillery fire of the SLA directed towards the Vaddakachchi area in Kilinochchi injured 14 civilians. They are,

1. Sarvananthan Saranya, female aged 17,
2. Sarvananthan Gajani, female aged 18,
3. Ehamparam Bavani, female aged 41,
4. Nadarasa Rajeswari, female aged 57,
5. Jopseph Mariathas, male aged 63,
6. Chinnaih Nadarasa, male aged 66,
7. Shanmugarasa, male aged 60,
8. Velmuruhu Pakiarasa, male aged 51,
9. Mariathas Christy, male aged 34,
10. Jacob Yoganathan, male aged 31,
11. Pillaiyan Chandran, male aged 39,
12. Baskarana Sivasubramanium, male aged 36,
13. Suppaih Sivagnanam, male aged 29, and
14. Govinthasamy Sivakumar, male aged 36.
