The Voice of Tigers (VOT) announced today in it's morning news bulletin that it will be celebrating the seventh anniversary of it establishment tomorrow Thursday Nov. 20 in the Vanni.

The seventh year celebration was referred to as Vaanosai by the VOT. The Vaanosai program will begin at 4.30 p.m.tomorrow evening.

Artistes and broadcasters who have been associated with the VOT will be honoured at the function said the radio.

The VOT was based in the Jaffna peninsula until late 1995 when the Liberation Tigers pulled out from there.

The Liberation Tigers also run a commercial broadcast apparently under VOT's supervision.
