There is a lack of petrol, cooking gas, and food products in sri lanka due to the economic crisis. Essential commodity prices have also risen dramatically. As a result, Tamils from sri lanka have begun to arrive in Dhanushkodi as refugees. On sunday night, five people from Chidambaram, Vavuniya district, sri lanka, including Rajalakshmi (56), his son Dayalan (27), wife Latha (26) and their two daughters, escaped sri lanka by boat. They came to Serangottai beach in Dhanushkodi early yesterday morning.
The Marine police rescued the Sri Lankan tamil family who had arrived as refugees after receiving the information and transported them to the Mandapam Marine police station for questioning. They said that they came to tamil Nadu as refugees with no method of surviving because the prices of basic items in sri lanka were skyrocketing at the time. After that, the five were taken to the Hall refugee camp. Since march 22, the number of Sri Lankan refugees has increased to 80.
