View(s):The Ceylon Teachers Service Union (CTSU) has condemned the assault of a teacher of the Dharmaraja Pirivena in Kahamulla, by an SLFP member of the Kuliyapitiya Urban Council
Teacher, Kapila Wijesinghe had been conducting classes, voluntarily and free of charge, on November 30, for students preparing for the GCE Ordinary Level exam, when the assault took place.
