Colombo (News 1st): Estate Workers protested this morning (August 16) demanding the Norwood Pradeshiya Sabha to operate at its present location. Currently, the Norwood Pradeshiya Sabha is operating from the Hindu Cultural Centre located in Tynsyne, Bogowanthalawa and the estate workers say the present location is very convenient for them.

However, the Business Community in Tynsyn, Bogowanthalawa and the Custodians of the Hindu Cultural Centre in a protest last evening demanded the PS premises be moved elsewhere. Chairman of the Norwood Pradeshiya Sabha Ravi Kulandawel speaking to News 1st said the Pradeshiya Sabha is operating from the Hindu Cultural Centre premises as they do not have a permanent building to function.
