A group of people today staged a protest at the Kalagedihena Junction on the Kandy-Colombo main road against the dumping of garbage at Dadagamuwa, Police said.

The protestors had obstructed traffic on the Kandy-Colombo main road which had to be cleared by the police and Local Government authorities.
