Tear gas, water cannons fired at IUSF protest
Tear gas and water cannons have been fired at students of the Inter University Students Federation (IUSF), engaged in a protest against the President at Fort, Colombo.
Reports say that roads have been closed in the area.
Earlier, a court order had been obtained preventing the IUSF from entering York Street, Chatham Street, and Janadhipathi Mawatha and against damaging public property.
However, the Colombo Magistrate Court had rejected a request made by the police to prevent the planned Inter University Students Federation protest at the Polduwa Junction today.
