University of Jaffna students were seen marking the first day of the Maveerar remembrance week today. The students paid their respects at the monument erected on the university premises.

Maaveerar Naal is a remembrance day observed by Sri Lankan Tamils to remember the deaths of militants who fought for the terror outfit Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). It is marked on 27 December annually.

Many similar remembrance events were held across the North since the beginning of November.
