A protest march over the arrest of Peradeniya University undergraduates in connection with the attack on former Vice Chancellor Prof Athula Senaratne’s residence was halted on a magisterial order yesterday after an application was made by the area’s Police.
Yesterday morning Police personnel in riot gear and equipped with water cannons were stationed at Getambe junction to thwart the progress of the students to Kandy town.

The magisterial order prevented them from entering Kandy Town, but they were allowed to come to Galaha Junction and return to the university premises.
The Police told the court that if the protestors walked into Kandy town it would disturb the progress of vehicles and inconvenience the people.
