The Murugan Kovil, a Hindu Temple in Kalmadu which had been partly ruined and abandoned for 12 years due to terrorism had been restored by Army troops to fulfill the spiritual needs of the IDP families resettled in the area.
This Hindu temple was ruined and remained abandoned since 1998 after villagers in the area fled when LTTE terrorists intensified their attacks against the troops.The army troops commenced restoration work a few months ago to bring this temple back to its ancient grandeur upon completion of the government-initiated IDP resettlement programme in the area. Accordingly, resettlement of 289 displaced civilians, belonging to around 76 families took place on 10th July 2010 in the area. Major General Gunaratne, Commander, Security Forces, Wanni, accompanied by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 61 Division, Brigade Commanders and Senior Officers ceremonially sanctified the restored temple and made the inaugural offerings in accordance with Hindu religious traditions on Oct. 17.
