Maharagama Urban Council workers are continuing their strike against the alleged attack on four fellow workers by Maharagama Urban Council Chairman Tiraj Lakruwan.
Out of the four, two workers of the Maharagama Urban Council were admitted to the Homagama Hospital after being allegedly attacked by the Chairman.
Opposition member of the Maharagama Urban Council Ruwan Jayasinghe said the Chairman had allegedly assaulted these two workers after taking them to a room, accusing them of being drunk at the time. Condemning the alleged attack on public servants, the UC member said that the Chairman has no right to attack UC workers and he should have taken disciplinary action against them, if they were found to have consumed alcohol while on duty.
While the strike will continue, the Health section of the UC will report to work tomorrow due to Garbage piling up in the UC area. Others will however continue till the issue is resolved UC sources said.
