Batticaloa is a city in the Eastern province of Sri Lanka. It is the seat of the Eastern University of Sri Lanka. It is on the east coast, 69 miles south by south east of Trincomalee, and is situated on an island.

Jaffna or Yazhpanam is the capital city of the Northern Province, Sri Lanka. Most of the residents in Jaffna are Sri Lankan Tamils with a presence of Sri Lankan Moors and Portuguese Burghers. Almost all Sri Lankan Muslims were driven off from Jaffna by the LTTE in the 1990s, as a result of the ethnic conflict which started in the 1970s [1] which leaves Jaffna exclusively Tamil, apart from the military personnel.
