COLOMBO: Sri Lankans travelling to India need no longer go to the Indian High Commission in Colombo to collect their visas as the High Commission has decided to allow the respective travel agents to collect the visas on behalf of their clients.

Indian High Commissioner Alok Prasad disclosed the new programme participating at a ceremony held in Colombo to welcome the Air India Express Flight.

This new system of issuing visas to the Sri Lankans travelling to India will come into effect from today, the High Commissioner announced.

According to the High Commissioner, the agents could collect the necessary visas of their clients. Those aspiring to visit India need not worry as everything would be in the hands of the travel agents and this would also save much time of the public.
