Interactive Defence Map of Sri Lanka (Northern Battle field)
September 9, 2008 at 6:42 am 4 comments
Above is a screen shot of the Interactive Defence Map of Sri Lanka (Northern Battle field) crated and maintained by Cyber Lanka.
Map itself is a cool tool, not only its updated daily (based on public reports via Govt.web sites ) it also contains location specific captions on daily happening’s and key incidents.
main feature of the map is, it depicts the troop movements and accordingly a great tool for all the Armchair Warlords,Peace Crusaders and citizens alike!
of course the warlords can go on and on talk about the disposition of Divisions and also strategy over long drinks on Friday and Saturday nights while the Flower Rd.based Civil Society Peace Crusaders can chart-out their next moves to pressure the IC to bring about ‘ forced peace‘ or scram ‘peace now’ ‘no war ‘ etc, just so that they could take the heat off Mullativu.. while UNP (or rather..whats left of it.. ) and SLFP (M) gang can engage in their futile conspiracies to bring down MR.
either way.. Map is a good tool to understand the developments and all the rhetoric and analysis on both print and electronic media over Military Operations happening in the North.
Good work Cyber Lanka for crating and managing this map. i think this map can be a model for discussing many other issues that we face today, including Political violence and even Environmental issues like Floods , landslides etc.
