Day 2 of the anti-SAITM protest march organized by the Inter-University Students’ Action Committee is currently in progress.

The protest march which originated in Peradeniya is expected to lead all the way up to Colombo over the time period of five days.

The protesters had successfully travelled from Peradeniya up to Mawanella on foot, during the course of yesterday (31).
