Internal Affairs, Wayamba Development and Cultural Affairs Deputy Minister Palitha Thewarapperuma staged a protest fast near Kobowaka Bo-Tree today in protest of a rubber factory in Bulathsinhala, Kobowaka.

The protest was launched by the residents and the deputy minister, as the factory had not stopped its operations even after the decision taken at the Bulathsinhala Divisional Development Committee to close down the factory temporarily.

The protest fast followed a complaint by residents that the factory was letting out waste into the environment without proper waste management procedures. (Bandu Thambawita)

Authorities should not encourage this type of acts . If encouraged it will be another culture in making. Really unprofessional. This should not be a way of resolving problems. A problem of this sort has to be resolved after proper analysis and not giving into an unwarranted demands by a petty politician.

All factories, rice mills, bakeries, do pollute. We should close down all factories and import everything.

Looking for cheap popularity, when there is a State machinery to deal with such cases.

This guy does not know if the factory were to close few people in the are will be unemployed. Think little bit a head and put pressure to factory management to employ a good waste management system and introduce heavy fine if not comply.
