The Lotus Road in Colombo Fort has been blocked for traffic owing to a protest march by university non-academic staff.
The protest march has been organized by the University Trade Union Joint Committee (UTUJC).
The road has been completely closed for vehicular movement, leading to a severe traffic congestion in the area.
Meanwhile, it is also reported that police used water cannons to disperse a group of unemployed graduates protesting near the Diyatha Uyana at the Parliament Road Junction.
