Now the foreign navies are approaching the yard with their orders. Enquiries for frigates and Fast Attack Craft are coming from Sri Lanka, ASEAN members and few African countries.

Historic exodus and military occupation of Jaffna!
[ TamilCanadian ] [ 14:08 GMT, Oct. 30, 2005 ]
The night of Monday October 30 , l995 was a black night in the entire history of the age-old city of Jaffna . Never has history witnessed such an exodus of fear and panic stricken people screaming and squeezing themselves out of the narrow roads and lanes of Jaffna. The nearly half a million population in and around the town was literally on the roads in pouring rain inching its way out of the densely populated town into the sparsely populated and ill -equipped suburban villages of Chavakachcheri, Kodikaman and Palai. It was for everyone a flight for survival.
