Unforgetful of gallantry and sacrifices they made in the battlefield and giving prioritized attention, Lieutenant General Shavendra Silva, Chief of Defence Staff and Commander of the Army, just a few minutes after the day’s main religious ceremony at Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi was over, straight away proceeded to the ‘Abhimansala - 1’ (wellness resort) at Anuradhapura where some 40 dependent War Heroes are receiving rehabilitation and recuperation for the rest of their lives. The customary practice coincided with the forthcoming Army Day anniversary commemorations.
