When he was prevented from joining the team that had landed at Kudarappu through Palay, he stood firm with a very small number of fighters as per the instructions of Colonel Theepan in a life-or-death struggle, overcame the enemy’s resistance at Palay and paved the way for the joining of the teams.

The person who stood with him were inspired by his behavior and directly participated in that battle and made a significant contribution. This was an event that revealed his engineering skills and personality.
In the battle that took place in Muhamalay on 11.08.2006, the enemy surrounded our team that had advanced along the Kilaly coast and closed our breach area. Under the instructions of Colonel Theepan, Vikki, who had gone with the team, joined them and stood 150 meters along the Kalali breach corner and on the Kilaly-Muhamalay line.
Although the length of this position was shortened due to the enemy attack, Vikki and team did not close the area until all the team members had left.
During the heavy enemy attack that took place in Muhamalay on 11.10.2006, Vikki took charge of the field management and quickly set up the defenses for the second line. And at one point in the battle, he also led the second line battle, causing heavy losses to the enemy.
During the battle in Mukhamalay on 23.04.2008, Vikki sent six fighters with Vadirasan to the last recovered NP08 position and then joined Nithilan’s team who arrived there and completed the task of recovering the fortification.
Lt. Col. Vikki was a freedom fighter with personality, humility, speed, efficiency, and courage. He became maveeran on 10.08.2008.
