18 more Sri Lankans arrive in Tamil Nadu, seek asylum

The Hindu  

Eighteen Sri Lankans fled the economic crisis in their country, reached the Indian shores in the early hours of Friday on three fibre boats and sought asylum. A senior official said that with the arrival of 18 Sri Lankans on Friday, the total number of those who had reached Tamil Nadu from the neighbouring country had risen to 60. Many more Tamils who have their relatives in the rehabilitation camps in Tamil Nadu might arrive here as food prices were too high and there was a question mark on security, said Nakuleswaran, 48. A revenue official said they would be given food and shelter in the rehabilitation camp, but remained non-committal on any financial assistance.
