(LeN-2007 June 11, 8.15 pm) It is being reported that a group of farmers who staged a protest against the minister of water management and ports and air services and president's elder brother Chamal Rajapakse, who was on a field visit to the Veragoda area in Wariyapola, have been chased by throwing stones at them.

Under the circumstance the minister had returned to Colombo with his security men.

The minister replied saying that their problems will be addressed within one month. The protestors then stated that they?ve heard of such promises on many occasions and demanded compensation within two weeks.

Since the situation was heating by the minute the minister refrained from proceeding towards the site and instead walked towards his entourage and was obstructed by the protestors. Then the ministers security men intervened and boarded the minister to his vehicle to which the protestors replied by throwing stones at the vehicle. The minister flew from the location within seconds and the vehicle did not suffer much damage as it is bullet proof vehicle.

The protestors also attempted to topple the defender jeep in which a part of the ministers security men came in and the windscreen of the vehicle suffered heavy damages due to the stone attack.
