They said the under-fire Governor, whose departure has created a political crisis over his successor, left on Emirates 348 to Singapore at around 3 pm (today) from the Bandaranaike International Airport, the sources said. There was no independent confirmation of his departure. Mahendran is a Singapore citizen and often travels to the small city state.
