The Police used tear gas to disperse IUSF members who were staging a protest march at the Town Hall a short while ago.

The members of the Inter University Student Federation were marching towards the University Grants Commission (UGC) when they were dispersed near the Town Hall.

Meanwhile, the Police also fired tear gas at the students who were finding shelter at the Vihara Maha Devi Park after they were dispersed.

Our reporter said passengers in some of the buses along the Green Path and the vicinity of the park had also been affected by teargas.

    Very good. Normal life of citizens should be allowed without interruption. These unjustified protests are a major nuisance to the public.
