Vaddakkachchi village is situated in the Ki'linochchi district. The land is very fertile and also has good water supply for irrigation. A large acreage of the rice fields in this land is public property. There was a hostel in 3rdVaikal for those who work in these public lands. Five families were living in this hostel and working.

On 28.02.1991, as the families were having breakfast in the morning before leaving for work the fields, Sri Lankan Air Force bombers dropped three bombs. One of the bombs fell on the hostel and exploded. 9 people were killed.

The relatives of those killed, unwilling to continue to stay in the hostel left the place and went elsewhere.

“On 28.02.1991, we were having breakfast at the Pa'n'nai hostel when Sri Lankan Air Force bombers dropped three bombs. One fell on the hostel. Nine people died, three were injured. 26 goats also died. We buried the goats and bodies of those killed in one hole. They were all in pieces”.
