TF 4 troops enter Oddusuddan town.


Troops of Task Force 4 who have continued their advances further northwards have entered Oddusuddan town by this afternoon.Troops entered the Oddusuddan town following the days long fighting ensued in the area.But LTTE offered litle resistance to SLA compared to the other towns as they are now more keen to protect Mulative after loosing Kilinochchi.

The strategically vital Oddusuddan junction located along the Mankulam - Mullaittivu (A34) main road had been used by the LTTE terrorists for their administrative and logistic purposes as it has direct route access towards Mullaittivu, Puthukkudiyiruppu, Mankulam and Nedunkeni.It is also a very popular name among the community in the south as it was one of the Last battlegrounds in the "Jayasikuru" Operation.

Troops own engaged in further consolidating operations in north and west of Oddusudan areas,as they are now controlling more than 90% of territory in the strategically important Mankulam,Mullative ( A-34) road.defence sources further said.
