REFUGEE

A massive cut out of the President has been put up opposite the Fort railway station in a manner that has caused much inconvenience to rail and bus commuters.

Commuters say the police filed legal action against the Convener of the Unemployed Graduates Union, Sujith Kuruwita for allegedly obstructing the free movement of rail and bus commuters in Fort when the union organized a continuous strike opposite the Fort railway station, but has thus far remained silent about the massive cutout that has become a nuisance to everyone.

Legal experts observe that action could easily be taken against the erection of the cut out as the board carried the name of a sponsor. The cut out is said to have been produced by the Federation of Self Employed Entrepreneurs.

Massive cut outs of the President have also been put up outside the Viharamahadevi Park and several other areas in Colombo. A survey conducted by the Colombo University has found that a majority of the people were displeased with the erection of such large cut outs.
