VIDEO: One man’s garbage becomes another man’s problem…
April 9, 2013
A tense situation prevailed in Kolonnawa today (09) when police attempted to remove protestors near the Meethotamulla garbage dump, demanding a written assurance to halt garbage disposal at the location. Police officers acting on a court directive to use minimum force to evict the protestors were unable to control the situation, resulting in the Anti-riot Squad being called in to disperse the crowd. It had been reported that several protestors were also arrested in the process. (Pic by Sanjeewa Lasantha)
