6 September 2012 10:38 pm

The Ministry of External Affairs will soon remove the Travel Advisory on Tamil Nadu after a proactive response to discussions between the Sri Lankan government and the Indian Central government, sources told Daily Mirror.

“The Indian central government has given a number of assurances to the Sri Lankan government that any civilian or VIP travelling to Tamil Nadu will be given complete security and that there is no need for concern. Therefore there are discussions within the Ministry to remove the travel warning as soon as possible,” the source said.

The final decision on the matter is to be taken by the Minister of External Affairs G.L Peiris and Ministry Secretary Karunatileke Amunugama who have both been out of the country for the past few days.  (Dianne Silva)
