New Year celebrations can be forced on tamil displaced people by state terrorist SL govt ,using GUNS. The true celebrations are ones when tamil people celebrate in a democratic environment ,where there are no occupied

Army controls.

Tribute to Young Asia Television, or YATV for its effort to rebuild the nation!

Keep up good work. Try to reduce the trust deficit between Tamils and Sinhalese and rest of the communities in Sri Lanka. Be an ambassador of media by delivering your obligations to the society. Best wishes for more touching programmes of cultural integration in Sri Lanka.
