July strikers cause traffic jam
Traffic congestion was reported in the heart of Colombo yesterday
morning due to a massive protest by July strikers near the Fort Railway
station. Police closed one lane of the road opposite the Fort Railway
station with barriers.
Protesters attempted to push down the barricades resulting in a tense
situation. Two representatives were granted permission to visit the
Presidential Secretariat. They were protesting against the negligence of
their requests by successive governments.
