KANDY – Over a thousand undergraduates, of the University of Peradeniya, staged a massive demonstration against the police arresting four undergraduates, including two monks, in connection with a protest rally held when Higher Education Minister S. B. Dissanayake visited the Peradeniya University Campus last year.

The demonstrating undergraduates prevented the movement of motor vehicles on the Kandy-Galaha Road at Galaha Junction.
