Govt rejects visa on arrival proposal

New Delhi: Saying that the ''security situation in the country is not conducive for it'', the Union Home Ministry has rejected the Tourism Ministry's proposal to give 'visa on arrival' to foreign tourists, Union Tourism Secretary A K Misra said on Sunday.
The Tourism Ministry had proposed that the country could initially give 'visa on arrival' to the tourists of about 15 countries and at two entry points of Mumbai and Delhi International Airports, said Misra while giving the valedictory address to the Kerala Health Tourism 2007 (KHT2007) meet at Kochi.
''The Home Ministry has not agreed to our proposal. But, we will still persevere,'' as quoted by UNI, Misra said.
