The University of Kelaniya, excluding the Faculty of Medicine, has been closed until further notice. 

Accordingly, all hostels of the university excluding the Medical Faculty’s hostels, will remain closed while all students have been instructed to vacate their respective hostels before 8.00 a.m. on Tuesday (Dec. 05).

The decision has been reached at by the university administration owing to an alleged incident of a security officer of the university being abducted and assaulted while he was sleeping in the break room at night. Later, he had reportedly been tied to the entrance gate at the Student Centre.

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Kelaniya stated that this decision was taken since the peaceful atmosphere which hitherto prevailed among the students and the non-academic staff has been challenged and that therefore disciplinary action will be taken against those responsible in order to re-establish the peace within the university.

Accordingly, he also announced that all the premises related to the University of Kelaniya including the university premises in Dalugama and all other internal and external hostels of the university are hereby forbidden areas for the students, except for the medical faculty students, until further notice.
