The Indian government has signed an agreement with Sri Lanka that will see it loan US$ 45.27 million (Rs. 6.9 billion) to renovate the Kankesanthurai Harbour in Jaffna.
An agreement between the two governments was signed in New Delhi today and comes after years of talks around the KKS harbour.
The Indian High Commission in Colombo commented that the signing was “transforming promises into reality”.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
