Moratuwa Mayor remanded for disrupting vaccination programme

News

(UPDATED) The Moratuwa Mayor Saman Lal Fernando has been remanded until June 11 after being arrested by the Police for interrupting the official duties of those involved in a COVID-19 vaccination programme in the Moratumulla area.

Police spokesman DIG Ajith Rohana said that the arrest was made following a complaint from the officials.

He was also charged for violating quarantine regulations.

The Mayor had allegedly issued a token for persons to be vaccinated, but officials at the Methodist Church premises declined to follow his instructions.

He entered into a heated argument with the medical officer at the centre.

The Mayor surrendered himself to the Mt Lavina police today and was thereafter produced before a magistrate.
