UNP anniversary rally postponed due to floods

The main rally organised to mark the United National Party’s (UNP) 71st anniversary and scheduled to be held at the Seevali Grounds in Ratnapura on September 10 had been postponed indefinitely due to the prevailing adverse weather conditions.

The decision had been taken at a meeting headed by UNP General Secretary Kabir Hashim and held in Parliament yesterday.

The party marked its 71st anniversary on September 6 and a religious ceremony was held at Sirikotha under the patronage of party leader and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)
