Rasika SOMARATHNA
Environment Deputy Minister Abdul Cader has requested Indian High
Commission officials in Colombo to relax the visa application process
for Sri Lankan nationals who have formerly visited the country.
Cader said that his request was positively received and the Indian
officials had agreed to look into the matter. “During a recent
discussion, I pointed out that this would help a large number of Sri
Lankans’ who visit India often on pilgrimage, tourist purposes and for
other necessities” he said. “I pointed out that as the Indian
authorities already possess the information of those who have visited
earlier, there was no need to produce the same documents again” he
added. |
