The annual prize-giving of Biyagama College was held on Thursday, December 1, under the auspices of State Minister of Defence Ruwan Wijewardene.

The minister speaking on the occasion said that opposition MPs tried to highlight the Awa group as a major threat, but that it is not a large group. The minister said that the group is similar to a bicycle gang and that they are a small group that extorts people in the area.

“The police is carrying out their duties. Although the opposition made such efforts it is not a major group, I don’t think that group will be able to operate once more in that area because the police are implementing the law”, he added.
