COLOMBO, 12 March, 2021 (TON): A four-day tour has been made by the Indian High Commissioner Gopal Baglay to the northern and eastern provinces to meet the political leaders and inspect the Indian-funded projects.

The sources said that the projects with Indian investments are in various stages of implementation.

As this is the first visit of the official since his appointment as Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Baglay would also visit the religious worship places.

The Jaffna cultural center and the Palali airport development are the two key projects financed by India among various others.

However, recently the PM of India has renewed his India’s call for the implementation of the 13th Amendment in full. The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka (13A) is an amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka which created Provincial Councils in Sri Lanka. This amendment also made Sinhala and Tamil the official languages of the country and English as the "link language".
