Topic: Vavuniya

The country's mean population density--based on 1981 census data--was 230 persons per square kilometer, but in Colombo District density was 2,605 persons per square kilometer.
In contrast, the dry zone districts of Vavuniya, Mannar, Mullaittivu, and Moneragala had fewer than fifty-five persons per square kilometer.
One reason for the unequal settlement pattern was the rainfall distribution, which made it possible for the wet zones to support larger village farming populations.

All village names beyond Anuradhapura are written with "VA" sound.
For instance, Vavuniya, Velanai, Vasavilan, Valikamam, Vannarponnai, Vaddukoddai, Varani are some of the village names.
Despicably indeed, when Northern villager retains Valikamam as their village name, the Southerner still has the survile tendency to ape the West and flaunt Weligama for their village.
