Jaffna
Jaffna is a city in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. It had been the second largest city in the country for several decades, till recent times. In the current unsettled situation in the northern part of Sri Lanka, many residents have moved out of the town, and thus the population has been reduced considerably. Jaffna also functions as the capital of Northern Province and the cultural capital of Sri Lankan Tamils. It is also a so-called 'stronghold' of the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam), a militant organization seeking the establishment of an independent state for Ceylon Tamils.
