Police threw tear gas and water cannon at the Inter University Students Federation (IUSF) protest today (19).
The protest was commenced from the Nelum Pokuna and the Police acted in repressing the protest as the demonstrators tried to enter the Bank of Ceylon Road near the Colombo Centre, clearing roadblocks.
The Police had obtained a court order against the walk and accordingly, many roads belonging to the Colombo Fort Police Division were closed.
The Police used tear gas and water canons to dissolve the protest as the protestors neglected the order and walked forward.
