A member of the Kelaniya student union speaking to Daily Mirror said that within the past two weeks alone, a total of 55 students of the Kelaniya University have been hospitalized due to contracting dengue.
“We are currently having examinations. However, the administration has not taken any efforts to either clean up the university premises nor postpone the examinations so that the hospitalized students would not be subjected to any injustice,” Kelaniya University Student union President Nipuna Sampath said.
The Vice-Chancellor despite giving an appointment this morning to discuss the grievance of the students had not attended the meeting and the irked students have now surrounded the building, expressing their objection to the situation and calling upon the administration to solve their grievance.
