Soldier’s Sudden Demise Testifies to Blossoming Relations & Sound Human Touch

Growing understanding, goodwill, co-existence and bonds of friendship that prevail between members of the Army and the populace in Puthukkudiyiruppu, Mullaittivu township area came to the fore when shopkeepers and a section of Mullaittivu civilians expressed their deep sympathy publicly over the sudden demise of the soldier, Lance Corporal R. M Kumar who tragically died in a fatal accident on Friday (8).

The deceased, Lance Corporal R. M Kumar, attached to the Security Force Headquarters - Mullaittivu (SFHQ - MLT), although unknown to his superiors, has developed impressive bonds of mutual relations and contacts with the people in Puthukkudiyiruppu and Mullaittivu, winning their hearts and minds, a fact that remained hitherto uncovered until his death since he has had a good command of Tamil language.

However, people in Puthukkudiyiruppu and Mullaittivu areas soon after the news of his tragic death in a mortar accident became shocked and shattered as he had remained a very popular friend among the common masses in the area.

The victim, Lance Corporal R.M. Kumar of the SFHQ-MLT was 37 years of age and resided at Hapugastalava, Nawalapitiya.

Grief- stricken Puthukkudiyiruppu civilians using vans, buses and vehicles have already visited the house of mourning after his remains were brought to the house at Nawalapitiya for final respects and the burial.

Some of the Banners that came up in Mullaittivu read as follows; “Our Deepest Sympathies - Puthukkudiyiruppu Threewhelers’ Association”, “Ananda Sports Club Condoles”, “Sympathies - Ananda Preme”, “Kovindaraja Saman and Youths”, etc.
