A record 35 million hits

The Defence Ministry website www.defence.lk registered a record 35 million hits on the day LTTE leader Prabhakaran’s body was found. This is the highest number of hits recorded by a Sri Lankan website ever, an official said.

The website recorded 34 million on the previous day when the announcement of the conclusion of the humanitarian operation was made.

Under the vision of Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, the defence.lk team did a total make over to effectively counter the LTTE propaganda war successfully and efficiently. It then earned the name for the fastest defence related news website and was essentially quoted by the foreign missions in their counter terrorist activities.
