Sri Lanka is currently facing an economic crisis. In view of this, many people are reaching the Tamil Nadu border to take refuge in India.

India has recently announced a loan of one billion dollars as financial assistance to Sri Lanka to deal with the economic crisis. The Indian High Commission on Wednesday announced the sending of two more fuel ships to Colombo under loan. Rice consignments are also being sent from India to Sri Lanka.Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday informed the Center that Tamil Nadu is ready to send essential items like rice and life saving medicines to Sri Lanka, keeping in mind the welfare of Tamils.
