The last twenty two hours changed the course of the search for the life of Tiger leader Velupilla Prabhakaran....
According to the small group operation concept that was accelerated during the Jayasikuru operation
Terrorism was attacking their own system and had to go along with the fear and doubt that was burning in the hearts of not only their soldiers but also the leaders. It was a time when long-range operations were accelerating as this fear filled the minds of the terrorists. Due to one unfortunate event of this period, the terrorists who had to turn the course of the war in a completely different direction, missed the chance to create a shock mixed with fear, and this preparation is to take steps to go with you to the beyond by aligning the speaker of Sinduwaya and the beginning of the pursuit of that Sinduwawa line.
After the transformation of the "ECHO" group into "SRT" after the "Delta Patrol" group of the commando regiment, he came to Sri Lanka with the full support of the then Defense Minister Mr. Anuruddha Ratwatte, who served in a private army after completing his service in the British Air Service Regiment (SAS). Two new assault patrols emerged from three military advisors. These groups, made up of the members of the commando and special forces, started a new journey and practiced a different fighting style, and they were named as Long Range Reccy Patrol. Initially, these two forces launched joint operations, but later these two groups began to operate separately as two units, and they began to operate in the battlefield, adapting and operating against wildness and terrorism according to their style tactics and behavior patterns.
These were within the commando regiment the Long Range Group of the 1st Commando Regiment was named "Yankee" and the 2nd Commando Regiment Group was named "Zulu" and they were always responsible to their regimental commander and bridging the two groups was an outstanding soldier from the commando regiment. At that time it was under the command and control of Major Shanaka Ratnayake.
This is a day in the last week of September in the year two thousand one. The deceased Major (then) Mutalif, one of the most reliable intelligence officers in the Army Intelligence Division at that time, brings a very important information to the two most reliable military groups as well as suitable for achieving that goal. To the Mundimuruppu camp where the two groups were stationed at that time.
Having arrived there, he explained his needs. It is LT who is fighting the battle to remove the army from Jaffna city. T.E. This news is about the arrival of LTTE leader Prabhakaran and other armed leaders to commemorate the heroes who died in the battle front to increase the morale of the organization. In another month and a few days, that is on the twenty-seventh of November, in front of the Mahaviru war memorial established in Mulankavil, a group of more than a hundred Tiger terrorists and many Tiger leaders and Prabhakaran of Kotinayake Velupilla will participate in it. The responsibility of investigating the possible way was assigned to this commando team.
At that time, the Yankee team was engaged in an investigation more than twenty miles away from the defensive ring, and the responsibility of this investigation was assigned to the team of Milind Aluvihare, who was the captain of the Zulu team at that time.
Captain (then) Milind Aluvihare is known to live his ordinary life in a simple and very fun-loving manner. He always spent more time in his team members' quarters or billets than in the officer's quarters. Hanging out with his soldiers, drinking tea from the same tea cup as the soldiers and sometimes eating with them, he would go to the officer's quarters by the light of the small magnum flashlight carried by his badia. Therefore, this Milind Aluvihara is known as a strange character among many people there...
Accordingly, this investigation was assigned to the Zulu team of Milinda Aluvihare.
For the start of the journey, the camp where a special task force was stationed at Murukkandi in Mannar was selected, and the distance from that camp to the Mahaviru monument in Munalkavil, where the target is expected to arrive, was calculated to be a little more than fifty kilometers, and the journey was estimated to be ten days. Along with food, water, ammunition, medicine and other equipment, the total weight of the pack hanging on their shoulders was about thirty five kilos.
Although the route is not canopy forest, there is a slightly elevated and slightly dense forest part, a small settlement Mannar, a road that goes to the villages of Adampan and Mandu, and a forward defense ring that was abandoned in the year 1917 or 1988 by the Air Force after the continuous wave of attacks by tigers. They had to pass through a ground firing field that had been laid out. It was a defense ring near a small civilian village called Parippukandi and it was believed that the village was inhabited by civilians.
In the concept of small groups, small groups penetrating into enemy territory and clashing with enemy groups, after an immediate effective counter-attack, disperse as a group or alone, rejoin at a pre-planned place and retreat together to the starting position or, if not alone, in pairs.
