An army soldier has reportedly been injured during a clash at a fuel station in 99 Kanuwa, Embilipitiya yesterday (03).
The station had received fuel after a five day-absence and the people queuing up for fuel have demonstrated objection as the stocks have run out.
Two people have entered into a heated argument with an army personnel deployed at the station and the escalation of the situation has made one attempt to grab his firearm and the other attack him with a sharp weapon.
The injured solider has been admitted to the Embilipitiya General Hospital.
