Staff reporter

TUTICORIN: As many as 700 Sri Lankan refugees observed a fast at the Thapathi camp near Ettayapuram in the district on Sunday in protest against mass killings of innocent Tamils in the island nation.

They urged the Government to take immediate steps to work out an amicable solution with Sri Lanka, besides demanding ceasefire of the war between Sri Lankan armed forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). M. Dhaulath Khan took part in the protest in which 450 men and 250 women participated, according to sources.

About 437 families, comprising 601 men and 576 women, reside at the camp. Besides Thapathi, Sri Lankan refugee camps are also situated at Kulathuvaipatti near Vilathikulam and Ramdoss Nagar in Tuticorin.
