The Defense Ministry yesterday requested all prospective Sri Lankan
travelers to Tamil Nadu to refrain from going there until the situation
improves. Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa noted the above whilst
commenting on recent attacks on Sri Lankan nationals, including Buddhist
monks, visiting the southern Indian state.
The Defence Secretary said the above decision was arrived at, after
considering the latest developments and to ensure the security of
prospective travelers.
He also urged organizations which arrange pilgrimages to India to use
other states and added if travel organizers do not abide by the above,
legal action will be considered against them.
