The Galle road has been closed for traffic from Kollupitiya junction to Galle Face due to a protest march by Buddhist monks of the Sihala Ravaya, police said.

The protestors demanded not to send the body of the self-immolated monk Ven. Bowatte Indraratana Thera to his home town in Ratnapura.

Meanwhile, anti-riot squad personnel equipped with water cannon have been called into the area.

This Govt responsible for the Buddhist monk sets himself on fire against the slaughter of cattle in Sri Lanka. This will happened again and again in the future.
