Anuradhapur, Sri Lanka, Mar 14(IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a visit to Sri Lanka, on Saturday arrived in the historic north-central city of Anuradhapura on his way to Jaffna.

Modi is only the second foreign leader after British Prime Minister David Cameron to visit the region, torn by decades of ethnic fighting.

He will launch construction of a cultural centre and hand over houses to 50,000 families that lost their homes in the fighting.
