The students of the Rajarata University who were engaging in a protest campaign against the abrupt closure of their Medical Faculty dispersed yesterday (10) complying with a Court order.
Considering the submissions made to the Anuradhapura Magistrate Court on Sunday (8) by the Police about the hardships due to the protest staged by the students forcibly erecting sheds blocking the Anuradhapura - Medawachchiya Main Road the Magistrate Ruwanthika Marapana ordered Police to remove the sheds and disperse the students and report to courts.
Anuradhapura HQ Chief Police Inspector Gamini Jayasena visited the place of Satyagraha and handed over the court order on the same day.
Students complying with the court order withdrew from the place with the temporary shed in the same night and by the following day morning they continued the protest in a cadjan shed.
The OIC of the Anuradhapura Police who visited the place again thanked for their complying with the court order and also informed to remove the cadjan hut. The ASP further informed the students that their staying in the place also contradictory to the court order, the non-compliance would lead them to arrest and to be produced in court.
