Thirty individuals have been arrested for vandalising a stage following a musical concert in Bandarawela yesterday (Jan 23).

The concert was organised by a group of youth in the area who had hired a popular band to perform at the event.

A tense situation arose when the spectators had requested the band to perform a few more songs when the concert was to conclude at 10 pm.
