The Sri Lanka Embassy in Tokyo has informed that the Japanese Foreign Ministry at a briefing to the Diplomatic Corps last afternoon (15th March) has conveyed that there is no need for measures of an emergency nature, in the wake of the situation triggered by explosions following the earthquake at nuclear plants in the Fukushima area, approximately 200 kms north east of Tokyo. The Government of Japan is taking all necessary measures to manage the situation, including by cautioning the residents living within a radius of 30 kms from the nuclear facilities, to stay indoors.
