Heavy traffic is reported along Galle Road due to a protest launched by the Inter University Students Federation. 

Galle Road has been closed for traffic from Kollupitiya Junction due to the protest march demanding the closure of SAITM.

The he Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court and the Gangodawila Magistrate’s Court yesterday issued stay orders preventing the protest march but the IUSF held the protest defying the court orders.
