His leadership in rescuing the Jaffna peninsula at a crucial and decisive situation is one of his most successful and well known operations.

Major General Janaka Perera also led the army in defeating the terrorist attacks of Weli Oya where his skills and intelligence were used effectively to overpower the terrorists. There were more than 300 terrorists killed and minimum damage to the army. A village was later named as Janakapura in Weli Oya for his contribution.

He was awarded the medals of honour 'Rana Wickrama Padakkama','Rana Sura Padakkama', 'Vishishta Seva Vibhushanaya','Uttama Seva Padakkama'
 for his devotion and commitment in saving motherland.

As a nation, we salute you for the bravery and leadership you gave in rescuing our country from the clutches of the terrorists.

Encrypt and Decrypt Images Using Java

ASP Response.Write newline

Hi, all of you who have used ASP may have encountered situations where you require to write a text output to the screen. It can be easily done by using Response.Write("Hello world"); However, if you wish to append some more text to a newline, it would not work in the following ways.
