A section of the Lankaputhra Bank employees on Tuesday morning began a protest outside the bank's head office at Nawala demanding that re-instatement of its sacked Chairman.
This follows an order by the Monetary Board on September 2 to the management directing that bank chairman Lasantha Goonewardena be removed. On Monday, Mr. Goonewardena from removed from his post.
The protest over the Monetary Board order is being carried out by a section of the workers who are believed to have been recruited during Mr. Goonewardena's tenure. A JSS union official said the protest in the form of a 'satyagraha' will continue until the former chairman is brought back. - (SD)
