A discussion has been initiated by Northern Province Governor Dr. Suren Raghavan yesterday (2) with the Chief of International Organisation of Migration (IOM) for Sri Lanka and Maldives, Sarat Dash on measures that could be taken to bring back Sri Lankan refugees in India.
The discussion had taken place when Dash had called on Governor Raghavan at the Governor’s Secretariat.
Dash has said the IOM could spend LKR 6.5 million to bring the Sri Lankan Tamils living in India as refugees and there is a delay in the process of bringing them to the island due to some unexpected reasons. The IOM Chief has further requested the Governor’s assistance to overcome these issues.
Dr. Raghavan has said he would discuss the matter with Sri Lanka’s Foreign Affairs Ministry officials and other relevant officials and would take necessary action to assist the IOM.
