The University of Sabaragamuwa will be closed until further notice after nine first-year students were assaulted by a group of senior students.
Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Udaya Ratnayake told Timesonline that academic sessions will continue only for first years while all other students have been told to vacate university premises including hostels.
He said nine first-year students were admitted to Balangoda Hospital last night after a group of seniors had entered their hostel and assaulted them with poles and sticks following a clash between them.
“The 2020/2021 batch was enrolled recently and we maintained a zero-ragging policy for a few weeks. A complaint has been lodged to us as well as the police and we are currently investigating it. Disciplinary action will be taken against students involved in the assault,” he said.
Prof. Ratnayake said among the injured, one student had received a blow to his head and is experiencing hearing loss.
