Mannar 'Poson Dansela' Attracts Major Ethnicities

Troops of the 542 Brigade Headquarters under 54 Division in Mannar marked the historic importance of Poson Full Moon Poya Day (June 4) with several programmes.

The day began with a Sil campaign with the participation of all the officers and soldiers serving the 542 Brigade Headquarters.

Towards the end of the day, a rice and curry Dansela (free eating house) at the Brigade Headquarters provided meals to hundreds of Mannar-based civilians who flocked to the town to enjoy the spirits of Poson.  People of all ethnicities as dusk fell joined the Dansela and shared the hospitality of the soldiers.
