Hartal in Jaffna A Hartal to protest against alleged excesses by the armed forces brought life to a standstill in the Jaffna district yesterday with shops closed and transport paralysed. The A9 highway linking Vavuniya to Jaffna through guerrilla-controlled areas was closed though some vehicles proceeded from Vavuniya to Kilinochchi. The hartal was organised by a group calling itself the National Awakeners’ Organisation—believed to be an LTTE front—to protest alleged attacks by the security forces on LTTE cemeteries in Kopay, Velanai and the destruction of a cut-out of LTTE war hero Thileepan in Nallur. The organisation has asked Jaffna’s public servants to stage a protest tomorrow.
