The 58 Division commanded by Brig. Shavendra Silva was in the forefront of fighting during the entire Wanni campaign, literally sprinting ahead of all other battle groups engaged in the massive operation.
The campaign ended with the crushing of the LTTE on May 18 and the 58 Division was there battling the enemy to the very end. “The Nation” Newspaper caught up with Brig. Silva for a short interview.

Well done Brig. Shavendra Silva . I’ve heard about that LTTE Leaders also wanted to surrender to you, not to 53rd division. Because you’re more human being that 53rd division commander. When I come to Sri-lanka I would like to meet you.
