About 2km north of the AB19 along a dirt track near Arali Point is a somber memorial to Lieutenant General Denzil Lakshman Kobbekaduwa and nine other Sri Lankan army officers, who were killed in 1992 by a roadside bomb. It was a major victory for the LTTE. The remains of the motorcade's mangled vehicles mark the lonely and solemn site.
