Jaffna in the past

Before the ethnic disturbances come to pass in Jaffna peninsula there was a branch office of the Department of Immigration and Emigration which issued passports on smooth manner without any fuss.

Any way it was closed many years ago, due to unavoidable circumstances, and since then, the northern citizens had to access Colombo to be obtained a travel document. In fact this is very tiresome and heavy expensive journey to a person who possess low-income.

Hence the war torn areas have had come back to normal life now, if the controller general of the Department of Immigration and Emigration kindly consider to re-establish the branch office in Jaffna, it would be a great service done to the Northern public.

At present there are branches in Kandy, Matara and Anuradhapura too. In addition to these, according to my view there is no impossible to re-inaugurate the Jaffna, passport branch office.

Hence with the collaboration of the Defence Ministry, the controller general of Immigration and Emigration, may you draw your kind attention to fulfill this worthy task.
