Heavy traffic jam reported from Dharmapala Mawatha Colombo today due to a protest organized by the Inter University Bhikkhu Federation (IUBF) calling for an inquiry into the recent death of a student monk of the Anuradhapura Buddhasrawaka Bhikkhu University.

Meanwhile the road blocks placed in the Kollupitiya junction towards the Temple Trees ha been removed. A police officer on duty at the scene when asked about the removal of the barriers, said that the protesters have the freedom to march at any direction they want. (Lakna Paranamanna)

Perhaps the President will order the Ministry concerned to pay a million, I am sorry it should be more. We are now finding solutions to our problems by financial trading.

Did u have the so called freedom when Piribaharan was alive. How many times have u narrowly escaped from Blasts in Colombo? How many have suffered in ur family due to blasts? If Piribaharan was still alive, it will be good for people like you. You people want nothing but protests to avoid from doing any work, which will be helpful to develop the country.

Ya. we have seen JVP guns, when were school children. Our elder brothers had to hide in the jungles to protect them selves from both JVP & Army. We haven't forget that past. Come on JVP, make another bloody era in this country.

Suddenly people in this country has gained their freedom to protest and move freely wherever they want..... a country like no other....maybe trying to avoid an incident like Katunayake FTZ....
