I feel bad for the police in helmet and uninform enduring the heat while these people protest. Not an easy job for sure. It is unfortunate that there must be a protest on some ruckus to get the government's attention to get anything done.

There must be a water cut in Colombo. That could be why water cannons were not used

Government must address these long standing issues without delay. If not we are likely to see a complete collapse of the country

I feel sorry for all non academic staff...they don't get a good salary and feel sorry for them all.. Unlikely academic staff they are treated poorly by the governments and it is not fair at all. They don't have strong unions to force the government.. Mighty is always right . We must speak out for them NPP will put them on equal footing . Only NPP can help them out .

Majority of these protesters voted for Rata-perata, Suba Anagathayak or miracle of Asia and what can they expect from this all-hora-havul bankrupt Govt. and the Universities under the ghost control of JVP and Peratugaami.

Some people are addicted to protesting, specially those who are in Government universities and communist circles. They should be sent to Kanthakkadu for a rigorous rehabilitation program.

Your union president/ secretary should go and speak to the relevant people. Take m.Wansa with you. He is a double pp man. He is sure to help.

Election time is the best time for industrial action. Politicians have to listen to them.

These universities are way overstaffed when compared to Universities abroad which have comparable student numbers. A peon in a SL university takes home more than a graduate teacher. Politicians destroyed Universities like other govt institutions by packing these with their henchmen. Many of them virtually do nothing. There are 4 or 5 lab attendants in a lab doing nothing, often playing cards or drinking . In a comparable lab abroad you cannot usually find more than one lab staff. All these places need to be restructured. More than 95% of expenditure in these Universities are for staff salaries!
