Commander
Northern Naval Area Rear Admiral Ravi Wijegunawardane declared
open the “Wesak Zone 2012” as it continued to the 3rd Day on Monday
(07) in front of the Jaffna Public Library.
A long queue
of civilians, as usual, was seen at the entrance of the model
Hell (Narakam). Parents were keen to show attractive
lanterns and illuminations along the street to their small children.
Youths in
their peer groups were interested in watching the Narakam
and also enjoying meals at Dansala. Students of three
schools who joined soldiers to sing Wesak Bhakthi Gee expressed
their delight with the Commander SF-J for getting an opportunity
to take part in the event.
Troops of
the 55 Division had catered over 9500 people by Monday (07) at
their rice Dansala.
The Wesak
Zone extended by two more days will end on Tuesday (08).
