Youth representing the Students Union of the Sabaragamuwa University who were staging a protest at Town Hall were dispersed late this evening by the police on a court order. The students however said they will continue the protest tomorrow.

 The order was taken by the police as the students had been causing disturbance to the public by occupying the pavement. A senior police officer at the scene said that as the elections draw nearer it is relevant to ensure the security in the area, especially in Colombo.
