A program to commemorate victims of the civil war was held today (18) at Wellamulliwaikkal with the participation of a limited number of persons. Former Tamil National Alliance MP Charles Nirmalanathan also participated in the commemorations.

However, a group including former Northern Province Chief Minister C. V. Wigneswaran, on route to Mullaitivu from Jaffna for the commemorations, had been turned back by security forces, stated former Northern Provincial Council member M. K. Sivajilingam.
