58 Division troops, minutes after they rolled on to Visamadu township Wednesday (28) afternoon were startled to come across a wide assortment of LTTE's heavy and light vehicles, including a UNICEF owned Toyota double cab.

Troops now dominating their positions in Visuamadu town perimeters also recovered corpses of five dead Tigers, four T-56 weapons, four I-com sets, explosives and several more LTTE items left behind by Tigers running for life.

The assortment of heavy vehicles contained one bulldozer, one backhoe, one tipper, one canter lorry, twelve land master tractors and the Toyota double cab belonging to UNICEF.

Similarly, two hours after troops' entry into the town, a group of nine civilians rushed to the troops and pleaded for safety in the hands of them. Troops afterwards directed them to relevant authorities for onward procedures.
