Leave India

On June 19th, an Aurovilian who has been residing and actively contributing to the community for more than 34 years, was informed by the Foreigners Regional Registration Officer in Chennai that the Secretary, Auroville Foundation, had revoked his visa recommendation. He was not shown the letter from the Secretary and no reasons were given. Due to this he was issued an Exit Permit and told he must leave the country before or on the 1st of July. The RA-WCom informed the community that “all possible actions are being explored to address this deeply disturbing escalation in the current crisis we have been experiencing for almost 2 years” and invited everyone “to invoke the power of the Mother to guide us through these difficult times.”
