Siege of Anandapuram
[Record of fighters in direct combat on the battlefield]
{Lt. Col. Radha Air Force Brigade}
All LTTE battalions took part in the siege of Anandapuram. Similarly, 40 of our team fighters on the back foot of Lt. Colonel Radha Air Force Brigade marched as an offensive team comprising more than 100 female fighters of the Computer Division to break through the Anandapuram siege. Our team was divided into three teams according to the attack plan. Accordingly the plan was for one team to break the barrier and the other two teams to enter. On the 31st of March our two teams went into Anandapuram and one team took up position in the green field outside Anandapuram. More than 25 friends of our team were killed during the siege of Anandapuram and more than 5 friends were killed in an attempt to break the siege. Similarly, most of the female fighters who came with our team were heroic and paralyzed. Details of our team who were heroic in this Anandapuram siege battle:

Only the names of 18 friends are remembered in our memories over time. Similarly, we were able to collect photos of some friends and when we tried to post the records of the siege of Anandapuram, we realized that time had destroyed many memories. Post the memories and sacrifices of the friends who fought with you in front of our fellow fighters who live like us. The death of a fighter is not an ordinary death it is the history of the liberation of Tamil Eelam.
