Heavy traffic was reported on the Nawala-Nugegoda road due to a protest by Open University students.

Inter University Students’ Federation said that the protest is held to mark the 150 th day of the Sathyagraha Campaign by Open University students.

The Sathyagraha Campaign commenced on December 17, 2014. Several rounds of discussions between students and authorities have not been able to resolve the dispute.

The students have several demands, including the reduction of course fees, banning of student unions and ‘oppression of students.’
