Wildlife officers in Mahaweli & Trinco to strike

Colombo (News1st): The Wildlife Officers Union states that the officers in Mahaweli and Trincomalee zones will take trade union action today (November 23). Chairman Prabhash Karunathilaka said the trade union action is in retaliation to the fact that no arrest has been made with regards to 2 wildlife officers being attacked in the Throkonamaduwa Natural forest Reserve in Kantale. When News1st inquired from the Seruwila Police, they stated that complaints had been lodged by both parties.
