Indian Envoy tours North, East to meet political heads & assess India-funded projects

Indian High Commissioner Gopal Baglay has undertaken a four-day tour of the northern and eastern provinces to interact with a cross section of society there including political leaders and inspect the projects  funded by India which are in various stages of implementation, sources said.

The High Commissioner also would visit the places of religious worship. This is his first such visit to the two provinces after he was appointed Indian High Commissioner in Sri Lanka.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi renewed his country’s call for the implementation of 13th Amendment in full. It was repeated by India even during the ongoing session of the UNHRC. 

Moreover, the Jaffna cultural centre and the Palali airport development are the two key projects financed by India. (Kelum Bandara)
