There was an uproar in Sri Lanka after Russian and Ukrainian tourists were ordered to leave the country by March 23

Two years have passed since the war between Russia and Ukraine and both countries are not ready to give a blow to each other.

On the other hand, to escape the devastation caused by the war between Ukraine and Russia, people from both the countries are taking refuge in other countries as soon as they get a chance. After the start of the war between Ukraine and Russia, so far 3 lakh Russian and 20,000 Ukrainian tourists have come to India's neighboring country Sri Lanka. After the war between the two countries, the Sri Lankan government extended his visa and allowed him to stay in the country.

While the Sri Lankan government is also attracting tourists to improve the economic condition of the country, the government has increased the visas with the calculation that if these tourists stay in the country, the economy will benefit. Thousands of Russian and Ukrainian citizens are currently found in Sri Lanka. However, now suddenly the Sri Lankan Immigration Department has issued a notice to Russian and Ukrainian tourists to leave the country in two weeks.

At present there are some Russian and Ukrainian citizens in Sri Lanka, but the exact figure is not available, but due to the issue of this notice, those citizens whose visas have now expired will have to leave Sri Lanka. He has been given a deadline till March. 23.

However, after this decision, a situation of confusion has arisen in the Sri Lankan government. President Ranil Wickremesinghe's office has ordered an investigation into how tourists were informed to leave the country despite the cabinet decision to extend visas.
