Ms Padmini Sithamparanathan, Jaffna district Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian presided over the event.

More than thousand women and students participated in the event. Committees including undergrads formed in the event Sunday began their village-level awareness campaign to make the proposed Jaffna Tamil Resurgence Convention a success, sources said.
