On the third day of his Sri Lanka visit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off a train at Anuradhapura station alongside Sri Lankan President Aruna Disa Naike. The city, known for its rich cultural heritage, has seen the development of several key projects with India's assistance. PM Modi earlier shared a picture with President Aruna on social media, highlighting the camaraderie between the two nations. After flagging off the train, PM Modi is scheduled to visit the sacred Mahabodhi Temple for darshan and pooja. His visit follows high-level bilateral talks in Colombo. The warm welcome extended to PM Modi reflects the strong India-Sri Lanka relationship, especially since India was the first to offer significant assistance during Sri Lanka’s 2022 economic crisis. The ongoing projects in Anuradhapura symbolize India's commitment to supporting Sri Lanka’s cultural and infrastructural growth.
