Jaffna |

|
The India Visa Application Centre (IVAC) of the High Commission of India was inaugurated in Jaffna yesterday (06 May).
Speaking at the occasion, The Indian High Commissioner in Sri Lanka Ashok K. Kantha said that this would benefit the people of Jaffna and neighbouring areas as they would not have to travel all the way to Colombo to submit their Indian visa applications.
This initiative is on the part of the High Commission of India to facilitate the visa applicants to submit their visa applications in Jaffna and to take delivery of the passports from the India Visa Application Centre, Jaffna.
"This would promote the traditional close ties between the people of Jaffna and India," the High Commissioner said. He reiterated the commitment of the Indian Government to promote closer ties between the people of India and Sri Lanka and conveyed that India was looking forward to opening a Consulate in Jaffna in the near future.
The India Visa Application Centre is located at No.89, Brown Road, Jaffna. The IVAC will function from 0800 hours to 1700 hours from Monday to Friday, a press release issued by the Indian High Commission in Colombo said.
