Heavy traffic was reported in Colombo Fort because of a protest organised by the All Ceylon Polythene Manufacturers and Recyclers Association (ACPMRA) against the ban of polythene.
They demanded the government to provide them alternatives for polythene.
Meanwhile, police said the road from NSA Roundabout towards the Ceramic Junction had been temporarily closed due to the protest.

Yes sir, you need not answer the government for alternatives to polythene, Try "cellulose"! I wonder if the JO jokers understand what is "cellulose".

Alternative?? Produce environment friendly recyclable bags.. If cant find an alternative like that, declare bankruptcy and find another environment friendly business

At the rate of protests carried out today, before long the drug traffickers will also stage a protest that they are unable to conduct their business due to government regulations

It is everybody's right to make protest.But we Citizen have to make our living too.So police must ask them to do it in the Galleface Green from 9.00AM till 16.00PM.(Saturdays, Sundays and Poya days excluded)

These guys are protesting because they are going to lose their business, but we have to think about well-being of this country.
