Colombo: Sri Lanka has asked a Chinese cargo ship to leave the strategic southern port of Hambantota, as it was asked to carry radioactive uranium without declaring it to authorities, officials said on Wednesday.
Anil Ranjith, the top official of the Sri Lanka Atomic Energy Authority (SLAEA), said the ship was en route from Rotterdam in the Netherlands to China when it developed technical difficulties and entered Hambantota Port.
The SLAEA stated that the vessel failed to disclose its radioactive cargo when it arrived at the port.
