The convoy of five buses was headed to  the Trichy airport to board a special flight home.  Earlier today, the group of nearly 180 Sri Lankans were stopped by  protesters after they left the famous Velankanni Christian shrine, 20  kilometres from Trichy. The Sri Lankans also faced protests yesterday during their visit to another shrine near Thanjavur.The incident comes a day after Sri Lanka issued a travel advisory asking  its citizens not to visit Tamil Nadu until further notice in the wake  of "increasing number of instances of intimidation" of Sri Lankans in  the state.Over the weekend, in a much-criticised move, Chief  Minister Jayalalithaa ordered that a football team that was visiting the  state in a friendly match should be sent back to Sri Lanka immediately.NDTV</blockquote>
