All faculties of the Sabaragamuwa University were re-opened yesterday following a temporary shut down after senior students were charged with ragging freshers.

A spokesman for the Sabaragamuwa University told the Daily News that the university administration came to a decision to re-open the University after disciplinary inquiries were completed against the students allegedly involved in the ragging.

According to the University authorities, students were allowed to return to their hostels on condition of not engaging in unlawful acts inside the university premises.

Though the University was opened, no student will be allowed to harass fellow students on any ground. "If any unlawfully or indisciplined acts were found, stern legal action will be taken against them," he said. Meanwhile, the Eastern University is also scheduled to be re-opened today after being closed temporarily following a clash between students and the Police,a spokesman for the University said.

A clash erupted when students of the University protested against the Police post erected within the University.

The university administration was yet to take a decision on the demand of the students.
