Thereafter, Elephant Pass was captured linking the North and South by land. Troops after taking control of Mullaitivu, Vishwamadu and Chalai captured the Puthukuduyiruppu Junction on Tuesday the 34d.. Accordingly, the LTTE is now restricted to a small area. The troops are launching heavy attacks on several centres including Puthukuduyiruppu East to dislodge the terrorists from the area.
