All accounts show that a major part of the civilians, other than who were boxed by the SLA, still voluntarily sought refuge with the LTTE than moving towards the Sri Lankan army. 
Reports indicate that at least 13,500 civilians ended up in the custody of the SLA on Monday.
Military sources in Colombo on anonymity said Tuesday that the high figures quoted by the government on Monday was based only on anticipation, but that didn't happen that day.
More civilians could have ended up in the hands of the SLA on Tuesday when it captured Maaththa'lan.
Meanwhile, reports from the LTTE Tuesday blamed the SLA for using a part of the boxed civilians as human shield in advancing its troops.
