Kilinochchi

Kilinochchi is a city and administrative center in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province, historically significant as an agricultural hub and a major site during the civil war, now focused on rebuilding and development. Situated on the A9 road, the city was founded in 1936 as part of a project to resettle people from overcrowded Jaffna, and today, its economy heavily relies on agriculture, with attractions like the Kilinochchi Water Tank and Iranamadu Tank.
