Indian Minister of Highways and Shipping tweeted today that he held talks with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe about road linkage between India and Sri Lanka.

The Prime Minister is currently on a tour of India. He also held talks with his counterpart Narendra Modi.

Mr. Gadkari tweeted, “Met Sri Lanka PM Ranil Wickremesinghe at New Delhi. Discussed road linkage between India and Sri Lanka.”

Further details were not available. Earlier, there was speculation about a bridge connecting India with Sri Lanka. It is widely called ‘Hanuman Bridge’. (Kelum Bandara)

    Why this irrational fear of India? But no fear to stand in a queue and vote for rouges every few years

    DillonDP Thursday, 27 April 2017 03:26 PM

    Hmmm hope it does add some benefits to both countries.

    regalsilva Thursday, 27 April 2017 03:41 PM

    helping godam indians to colonize sri lankaand become a sattelite like sikkim and bhutan. 700 million abject poverty stricken people shit in the open!!The Nepalis had the backbone to stand up to Indian domination. Now we miss a chandiya like former president, despite all his faults.

    No road please, Sri Lankans have a hard enough time finding work in this Country, we don't need all the unemployed Indians

    Chan Thursday, 27 April 2017 04:16 PM

    Any one who oppose are the ones who live in a well. Islanders who scared of everything. If SriLanka is a country with boarder to many countries around, we would have get rid of this mindset. If this is one way or two way this is the best thing to be done for regional growth.

    chand Thursday, 27 April 2017 04:19 PM

    @ KJNo I do not understand, Can you explain?Is this the only country in the world that will get connected another country. What is your fear?

    Janaka Thursday, 27 April 2017 04:29 PM

    Those who live with neighbors knows the difficulty of keeping security and trade clean. God gifted us an island for a reason, why do you want to link it with another country with very poor living standards....????????

    'Low end Indians'? Never heard of any such thing. What's the Sri Lankans' end?

    sini Thursday, 27 April 2017 04:54 PM

    Who told that India do not allow srilankans more than 2 times? If you have valid visa, you are welcome any number of times. The road will help Srilankan products to reach Indian markets easily and with less cost, Srilankan businessmen can compete with Indian manufacturers which will increase Srilankan wealth. It is actually not in the interest of India. I do not know why India is agreeing to this bridge?

    Saja Thursday, 27 April 2017 04:57 PM

    I am wondering why ranil wickramsinhe wants to built a bridge India and SL.

    TJ Thursday, 27 April 2017 06:01 PM

    This government often loses its balance of mind. This is one such instant

    Boonda Thursday, 27 April 2017 06:10 PM

    OMG!. This time VP is not around to fight off the Indians. Those who hate VP oftern forget that if he did not fight the Indian Army, they would have stayed here until SL bacame the 24th state of India.

    Sri Lanka, the 30th state of Imperial India.
