Police have used tear gas and water cannons to disperse students from the Buddhist and Pali University staging a Satyagraha at Pitipana Junction, Homagama.

 

Earlier today, a tense situation was reported during a demonstration held by the Inter-University Bikkhu Federation (IUBF) of the Buddhist and Pali University in Homagama.

 

There, the protesting student Buddhist monks had attempted to erect a temporary platform to commence a Satyagraha near the Pitipana Junction, and the tense situation arose as police were trying to prevent them from doing so.

 

Footage of the incident captured on camera also shows a high-ranking falling on the ground during the clash with protesters.
