Business stops for Upul’s funeral

Kandy – Every business establishment at Digana from the small 'they kadai' by the roadside to textile shops, grocery shops, garages and the entire market closed on Thursday for the funeral of DIG Upul Seneviratne from the STF who along with his driver were assassinated by the LTTE.

Several shopkeepers remarked that although it meant a considerable loss in revenue, their conscience compelled them to close business as a mark of respect. Digana is a well developed town, full of activity normally, residents said. (PM)
