The Australian Government yesterday reviewed its travel advisory for Sri Lanka and lowered it to ‘exercise a high degree of caution’.
“We’ve lowered our level of travel advice for Sri Lanka to ‘exercise a high degree of caution’, “the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said. The travel advisory said following the 21 April terrorist attacks, a state of emergency is in place and night-time curfews can be imposed with short notice.
“Security forces maintain a visible presence, particularly in the Northern and Eastern provinces. Military and police checkpoints are sometimes established and roads closed without warning. Security has increased at the Bandaranaike International Airport. Follow the local authorities’ advice and monitor the media for updates,” it said.
It also said there is the potential for civil unrest and violence against people and property. “Avoid all demonstrations and large public gatherings, as they may turn violent. Monitor local media for updates,” the advisory said.
