The UNP today called for a day’s leave for private sector employees to cast their vote at the upcoming Local Government election, stating that the two-hour leave declared is not sufficient for a person in Colombo who is registered elsewhere to vote

UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake said the estate workers also should be given leave to cast their vote. (YP)
