SLMM Chief on a 3-Day Visit to Vanni
General Tryggve Tellefsen, the head of the SLMM, arrived in Vanni yesterday and met with Mr. S.P. Tamilselvan, head of the political wing of the LTTE.
 The meeting lasted more than ninety minutes and centred on the events at Kurangupaanjaan in the East and the functioning of the SLMM. General Tellefsen is scheduled to stay in Vanni for 3 days and meet with various commanders and divisional heads of the LTTE. After the meeting with Mr. Tamilselvan, General Tellefsen and his team visited the Northern Front and met with the LTTE special commander Col. Theepan. During this meeting, Col. Theepan took the SLMM delegation to the frontline areas of Muhamalai, Kilaly and Nagar Kovil areas and pointed out the activities of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces in building new fortified positions in the strictly forbidden neutral zones between the LTTE controlled and SLA controlled zones. 
Col. Theepan pointed out that despite his efforts at pointing out these ceasefire violations to the SLMM in the past such activities of the SLA have gone unchecked. The SLMM delegation was set to inspect TRO projects on Tuesday and visit Mullaitivu on Wednesday and meet with Col. Soosai, Special commander of the Sea Tigers.
