Mundalama Police have seized a stock of the banned agrochemical glyphosate and arrested a suspect.
The raid was conducted yesterday following a tip-off. The suspect, a resident of Kiriyankalliya, Mundalama, is involved in the sale of animal feed products.
Among the items seized were 45 cans each containing 4 liters of glyphosate, 8 kilograms of Amonia Chloride and several other containers.
