The police request the public to use alternative roads when travelling to Kotte due to construction work blocking the following areas: Bangalahandiya, Beddagana and Pitakotte.

A Sathyagraha was due to be held in front of the UNP headquarters, Sirikotha, today by the UNP reformists.

    You can protest in front of the UN head office in Colombo, but not in front of the UNP head office in Colombo....? Now I understand the meaning of JUSTICE.....!!!!!

    MK Wednesday, 17 August 2011 06:24 AM

    Dont say that.. even in UK the prime minister is trying to ban social media to prevent protests...!

    MK Wednesday, 17 August 2011 05:58 AM

    So seems like Ranil is getting police support to stop protests... weldone Ranil.. continue to ruin the party.

    christo Wednesday, 17 August 2011 05:52 AM

    This is just to prevent the Satyagraha. Police are the biggest liars and the laughing stock of the country. Shame on you IGP
