Oct 05, Colombo: A three-day combined Indo-Lanka Naval exercise is being planned in the seas off Colombo. The exercise is scheduled to begin early this week in the Western Naval Area, sources said.
Three Indian warships will call on the port of Colombo today (October 5) to join the exercise, the first joint naval exercise after Sri Lanka's triumph over terrorism.
This joint exercise belie the allegations made by some South Indian politicians that the Sri Lanka Navy attacks Indian fishermen near the IMBL (international Maritime Boundary Line) even after the end of the war.
Further, an official said that India's readiness to go ahead with the exercise was evidence that even the Centre did not take South Indian criticism of SLN action seriously.
SLNS (Sri Lanka Naval Ship) Sayura and SLNS Shakthi are expected to join the joint exercise.
