History The rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam first built an airstrip in Iranamadu in the early 1990s. In 1993 they started clearing land south east of the Iranamadu Tank and over the next two years constructed a runway which was opened by LTTE leader V. Prabhakaran on 19 March 1995. The runway was then bombed and destroyed by the Sri Lanka Air Force. In late 2003, during the Norwegian facilitated ceasefire, the LTTE started clearing land at another site, east of Iranamadu Tank. Within a year the LTTE had built a 1,200 m (3,900 ft) runway. The air force bombed the airstrip several times, indulging in June 2006 after the Kebithigollewa massacre. The airstrip was the launchpad for a number of Air Tigers attacks including the raid on Anuradhapura Air Force Base in October 2007. The Sri Lankan military captured the airstrip on 15 January 2009. A Sri Lanka Air Force detachment moved onto the site on 21 June 2009. The airstrip became an air station on 3 August 2011. The airstrip was reconstructed in 2011 and opened for light aircraft. The airstrip was then converted into an airport with a 1,500 m (4,900 ft) runway capable of handling the air force's Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Antonov An-32 aircraft. The new airport was officially opened by President Mahinda Rajapaksa, becoming the country's 16th domestic airport.

Aéroport de Jaffna

L'aéroport international de Jaffna, aussi connu sous le nom d'aéroport de Palaly, est un aéroport situé dans l'extrême-nord du Sri Lanka, desservant la ville de Jaffna et sa région. Il fut construit pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale par la Royal Air Force. Après la guerre, l'aéroport devient le second aéroport international du pays, jusqu'à ce que la guerre civile entraîne l'arrêt du transport aérien commercial entre les années 1990 et 2000. C'est durant ce contexte que la Sri Lankan Air Force acquiert les lieux en 1985, l'aéroport fonctionnant depuis aussi comme base aérienne. À partir de 2014, les responsables politiques locaux ont sollicité le consul d'Inde à Jaffna pour mettre à niveau l'aéroport et le rouvrir à une connectivité internationale. Après des négociations avec l'État sri lankais, le gouvernement indien finance les travaux de mise en norme de l'aéroport, engagés en partenariat avec des entreprises publiques sri lankaises. Le 11 novembre 2019, la première liaison aérienne commerciale internationale est inaugurée, une desserte entre Madras (Aéroport international de Chennai) et Jaffna assurée par la compagnie indienne Alliance Air, subventionnée par l'État indien. Le modèle de redéveloppement de l'aéroport de Jaffna a conduit à d'autres sollicitations des autorités indiennes par des politiciens et de groupements de civils sri lankais, telles qu'à Batticaloa.

Shrine of Our Lady of Matara

Shrine of Our Lady of Matara is a Roman Catholic church devoted to the Virgin Mary, in the town of Matara, Sri Lanka. The shrine houses a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus. Though the statue's origins are unknown, church officials claim that it is 400 years old. The statue has been damaged, lost and recovered more than once, most recently during the 2004 tsunami in Asia, which damaged the shrine and killed 24 people attending Sunday Mass. The church celebrated its centenary year in 2007. Claims regarding the statue of Mary Church legend claims that a large wooden crate was hauled out of the sea by Weligama fishermen. When it was opened, the statue was found inside, untouched by seawater. The fishermen handed it over to the parish priest and the statue was placed in St. Mary's Church in Matara. At a later period, during a cholera epidemic which claimed hundreds of lives, Catholics prayed before the statue to be delivered from the disease. The statue was taken in a solemn procession through the streets of Matara. After a few days, the area was declared safe by the health authorities and there were no further officially reported deaths. Since then the Catholics of Matara have attributed miraculous powers to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the early 1900s, after over 300 years in the church of Matara, the statue looked faded and worn due to exposure and the thousands of devotees touching and kissing it. Arrangements were made with a sculptor in Ghent, Belgium, to renovate the statue. Renovations, loss and recovery When the renovations were complete, the statue was packed in a wooden crate and shipped in the cargo boat Beachy, which set sail from Antwerp. The ship was caught in a fierce storm in the North Sea. It was nearly wrecked but did manage to reach Middlesbrough, England, the next morning. Most of the cargo was found to have been destroyed or thrown overboard. When the ship reached Minicoy, India, it was discovered that the statue had gone missing. An investigation was initiated by the Bishop of Galle and Belgian priests in the Galle Diocese. These investigations traced the statue to a man in Middlesbrough. When confronted, he refused to hand over the statue unless his demands for money were met. When these demands were refused, he used a hammer to deface the statue, and then threw it away. The statue was recovered and sent back to the restorer in Ghent, who made repairs and repainted it. The Bishop of Galle, Rt. Rev. Dr. Joseph Van Reeth, took possession of the statue and set sail to Matara in the steamer Princess Alice. When he reached Colombo and looked for his luggage, the crate containing the statue could not be found. Three days later a Belgian cargo boat named the Uckermarck arrived in Colombo with the missing crate. The excess luggage of the Princess Alice had been loaded onto the Uckermarck, which set sail after the Princess Alice had left Antwerp harbor.

St. Michael's College National School

St. Michael's College, Batticaloa (SMC; Tamil: புனித மிக்கேல் கல்லூரி, மட்டக்களப்பு; known as St. Michael's College) is a national school in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. History St. Michael's College National School is a national school in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. In 1868, Fr. Francis Xavier Philip was sent to Batticaloa by the Bishop of Jaffna, Christophe Ernest Bonjean (OMI), to establish an English boys' school. Philip established three schools in Batticaloa, St. Mary's English school, St. Mary's vernacular school and St. Cecilia's girls school. In 1873 St. Mary’s English school (which later became St. Michael's College) was constructed on land donated by Paschal Mudaliyar. The first principal was Joseph Abraham, with three teachers and 57 pupils. In 1895, the French Jesuits took over, and the first Bishop of Trincomalee, Charles Lavigne, tasked the Jesuit priests to establish a boys' school, with the assistance of Governor Henry McCallum. On 16 July 1912, the cornerstone for the school was laid by Governor McCallum. On 3 May 1915 the school, St. Michael's College, was opened by the Director of Education, with the first principal, Fr. Ferdinand Bonnel, who remained in charge of the college for forty years. The school buildings were designed by architect, J. W. C. Ward. St. Michael's College was affected by the civil war in Sri Lanka. In 1990, the school was closed for two years due to security concerns. However, it reopened in 1992 and has continued to operate since then Sports The St. Michael's College is noted for its basketball programme and has won several all-island basketball championships. Their victories made the school popular and were dubbed as The Invincibles. Jesuit missionaries introduced basketball to Batticaloa, and installed the first basketball court within the school premises. There were several Jesuit priests who played basketball and were good at it. Fr. Hamilton, Fr. Ralph Riemen, Fr. Eugene John Hebert, Fr. Harold J. Weber and Rajan Nadarajah were among the best contributors. See also List of the oldest schools in Sri Lanka List of schools in Eastern Province, Sri Lanka References
St. Servatius' College, Matara

St. Servatius' College is a boys' school located in Matara, Sri Lanka. The school was established in 1897 by recently arrived Belgian Jesuit missionaries, led by Joseph Van Reeth, first bishop of Galle and Father Augustus Standaert. St. Servatius' College is a national school, which provides primary and secondary education. This is the only school in Sri Lanka where three Governors of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka were educated. This is the only school in Sri Lanka that has produced national team captains in the sports of cricket, football and volleyball. History St. Servatius' College was founded when the Bishop of Galle, Joseph Van Reeth (in French), wanted to create an educational infrastructure in the newly established diocese, and called on the Belgian Jesuits for help. Father Augustus Standaert and a few other Belgian Jesuits arrived in Galle in 1896, and on 2 November 1897, the priests opened an English medium school on a small plot of land on the banks of the River Nilwala in Pallimulla, Matara. The school opened with five students in 1896, and within two years it had grown to accommodate 54 students. In August 1898, a new structure was erected for the school. As the construction funds came from the St. Servatius Jesuit school of Liège, Belgium, the Matara school adopted the name of this patron saint: Servais de Tongres, a 4th-century Belgian missionary, and one of the first bishops in the area around Tongeren, Maastricht, and Liège. After some years the school was moved to its present location in Kotuwegoda, Matara. In 1961, as part of a government program to take over private schools, the school was adopted by the Ministry of Education, although it remained administered by Roman Catholic fathers until 1965. Currently, over 3,000 students are enrolled at St. Servatius' College. The school employs over one hundred staff, led by principal H. K. L. B. Virajith. It was made a Sri Lankan national school in 1993. Principals College houses College house names are listed in alphabetical order.
