Harthal in the North
A ‘Harthal’ campaign is being carried out throughout the Northern Province to express sympathy for the deaths of the two students and demanding authorities to take legal action against those responsible for the killings.
All shops in Jaffna, Killinochchi, Mullaithivu, Mannar and Vavuniya have been closed down while transport in the Province has come to a halt. Meanwhile, schools in all towns in the province have been closed.
Also, black flags have been hoisted at Jaffna University and the Faculty at Vavuniya.
