The travel ban imposed in some parts of the country on foreign passport holders has been lifted in a directive by President Maithripala Sirisena, Defence Ministry’s Media Centre Director Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasuriya said today.

The decision was made at the first national security council meeting under the leadership of the new President. They had taken into consideration the prevailing peaceful situation in the country, he said.

However, the transportation of explosive goods, weapons, camouflage costumes and telescopes would not be allowed to the North while the transport of weapons and explosive goods will be prohibited to the East.

    This is a good move. Unlike the previous regime our new President is thinking positively. I am sure this is the first step towards reconciliation.
