Even as Sri Lankan school children were being prevented from
participating in cultural and sporting events in Tamil Nadu, a delegation of
youth from Indian army families was on a goodwill tour of Sri Lanka at the
invitation of the Viru Daru Society, an organisation of children of Sri Lankan
army personnel.
The 25-member Indian team had arrived here on August 31 for a five-day
tour of the island. They were welcomed by Deshani Jayasuriya, chairperson of
the Viru Daru Society, the Lankan army said. The Indian youth visited places of
cultural and historical interest like Kandy, Sigiriya, Dambulla, Anuradhapura,
and Trincomalee.
