The Omanthai Entry/Exit point, which is opened between 9.00 am - 1.00 pm on a daily basis was closed yesterday as well due to the same reason.

Speaking to the media, military spokesman, Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said that though the Entry/Exit point in Omanthai was not officially closed, it was impossible to open the crossing point for traffic without the presence of the ICRC officials.
