Strict disciplinary action will be taken against the student monks who allegedly assaulted university officials, Dr. N. L. A. Karunaratne, Vice Chancellor of the Sri Jayewardenepura University told Daily Mirror online    

He added that less than 20 student monks were involved in the assault from the total of 105 monks at the Bhikkhu hostel and that the majority was also put into disrepute due to the acts of a few.

The officials were assaulted after the Vice Chancellor and few others went to the Bhikkhu hostel after they received complaints from residents regarding unruly behavior of student monks.

The students who assaulted the officials will be identified and strict disciplinary action will be taken against those responsible, Dr. Karunaratne said. (Daily Mirror online)
