23 May 2013 11:04 am

A traffic congestion is reported from Borella to Maradana due to a protest march organised by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) over the electricity tariff hike, police said.

The protest march was scheduled to reach to the Colombo Fort Railway station.

JVP MP Tilvin Silva told media outside the Fort Railway Station that they would continue their campaign against the electricity tariff hike despite the government’s attempts to sabotage the protests.   

“We are always with the people. We invite those who ridicule our campaigns against the tariff hike to join us in this struggle,” Mr. Silva said. (YP & LSP)
