- A group of 200 Sri Lankan refugees living in Tamil Nadu received Sri Lankan passports at the country’s Deputy High Commission in Chennai.
- This is the first time for the refugee community in India.
- Earlier, if Sri Lankan refugees living in Tamil Nadu wanted to leave for a third country, they had to first travel to Sri Lanka on a passport issued under the Refugee Repatriation Programme and then apply for a Sri Lankan passport there.
- Under the new initiative, they need not visit Sri Lanka, but can instead apply directly for a passport though the diplomatic missions in India.
- Then they can leave for a foreign country from India.
