The Government Surveyors’ Association will stage a protest in front of Colombo- Fort Railway Station today (16).

Secretary of the Association, Basil De Silva alleged that the move to hand over the Department to a foreign firm has been met with disapproval by Survey Department employees, who see it as a threat to national security and wasteful expenditure. 

De Silva said that the protest will be held demanding the President to abolish the decision. 

Meanwhile, the Association engaged in a three-day token strike action from March 14 onwards.
