Mavil Aru

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mavil Aru (Mahaweli Oya^{[citation needed]}) is a waterway in Sri Lanka that supplies water to some regions of eastern Sri Lanka. This is in news now in the context of fresh war between the Sri Lankan Armed Forces and the LTTE when the LTTE organised a protest to block the waterway. The armed forces retaliated by launching air strikes, and deciding to capture the areas militarily. Since then the armed forces has progressed to capturing many other LTTE held areas, as defined by the 2002 ceasefire agreement.
