Residents of Kolonnawa staged a demonstration on Monday, March 06, demanding for the continuous disposal of garbage at the Meethotamulla garbage mount to be stopped.

The demonstration was held at the Meethotamulla Junction on the Colombo – Avissawella road.

A group including UNP Parliamentarian S. M. Marikkar took part in the demonstration.

The parliamentarian claimed that the Minister of Local Government called him and said that the minister was informed by the Prime Minister to hold an emergency discussion in order to resolve the issue, but that the only way of resolving the issue is to stop dumping garbage in Kolonnawa.
