The Army gained full control of the 41-km A-5 Badulla - Maha Oya – Chenkaladdy road on April 11-morning confining the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to around 150-square kilo meters in the Thoppigala jungle, reports Sri Lanka Army. Security forces (SFs) estimate that there are around 300 to 350 LTTE cadres trapped inside the jungle. "We gained control of the A-5 road after 14 years. Clearing south of A-5 is a very significant military and humanitarian victory as we have now driven the LTTE out of the East and brought all civilians in Trincomalee, Ampara and Batticaloa districts (except for Thoppigala) under the security forces denying the LTTE any control over them", military spokesperson Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe said. The operation launched by the SFs on February 24, 2007, to liberate the Batticaloa south, west and area south of Thoppigala jungle has cleared 700 square kilometres till April 11. Troops so far have controlled settlements like Koduvamadu, Thamparaveli, Pankudaveli, Illupayadichenai and Karadiyanaru south of the A-5 road in the Batticaloa district, he further said. Daily News quoted Director General of Media Centre for National Security (MCNS), Lakshman Hulugalle, as saying, "This is a major victory achieved since 1993 and troops have taken full control of the A-5 road and a 2,551 square kilometre land mass in the East." "This is a great achievement by security forces. The Tigers had controlled the 41 km stretch of road since 1994," a military spokesman said, according to Colombo Page.
