This is effective in only few universities.
Jaffna,Sabaragamu,Vavuniya campuses didn't had any strike last 28,29 which was a token strike and everything was normal.Hope it'll be the same for this strike too.

It's high time solutions are found for their grievances. When undergraduates do not have lectures they will also start protest campaigns.
