Most of the residents are minority Sri Lankan Tamils and are farmers. It was founded in 1954 as village in the jungle by refugees fleeing the burning and destruction of once larger Sri Lankan Tamil village of Veeramunai by some members of Muslim dominant Sammanthurai. Life was affected by the insurgency and counter insurgency operations during the Sri Lankan civil war. Members of the village were also present within the Hindu temple at Veeramunai as refugees when it was attacked by Home Guards from Sammanthurai on August 12, 1990 resulting in the death of 55 civilians. Subsequently the village was resettled by returning refugees.[1][2] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://tamilnation.co/tamileelam/muslims/0305desecrate.htm|title=State and Muslims Desecrate Ancient Tamil Village|publisher=Northeastern Herald|accessdate=15 August 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.uthr.org/SpecialReports/spreport3.htm#_Toc15893107|title=War and its consequence in Amparai Districti|accessdate=15 August 2012|author= Ranjan Hoole|date= 16 October 1990|work=UTHR}} 1 : Villages in Ampara District |
