Vidyaloka temporary closed
Vidyaloka College in Galle has been temporarily closed after the newly appointed principal was injured and hospitalised following a tense situation this morning, police said.The transfer of the former principal had been put off for three months because of the protests by parents. He assumed office today. However a large crowd including UPFA Provincial Councillor Ven. Baddegama Samitha Thera had gathered at the main gate of the school and prevented him from entering the school.
The police intervened and escorted him in but as he entered the school premises a group of students pelted stones at. The principal entered his office and assumed duties amid the obstructions by slogan-shouting students. Meanwhile the unruly crowd caused extensive damage to the new principal’s car and the school buildings. This compelled the principal to leave under police protection. Galle SSP Vaas Gunawardene and several police officers also received minor injuries in the incident. (D.G. Sugathapala and Sajeewa Wijeweera)
