report in The Morning, July 11, 2023
State Minister of Ports and Aviation Premalal Jayasekara said that the implementation of the new project to launch transport services, for both passengers and cargo, to India via the Kankesanthurai (KKS) Port which was recently approved by the Government of Sri Lanka is likely to be delayed by a further six months as the Indian Government is yet to approve the project.
Speaking in this regard at a media briefing yesterday (10), Jayasekara stated that the project would allow for persons to travel between the two countries with ease, adding that each person will also be allowed a baggage allowance of 100 kilos.
He noted however that since the Indian Government is yet to approve the project, it is therefore likely that the implementation of the project will be delayed by a further six months.
