Colombo Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne yesterday, issued summons on six activists who are currently engaging in a Sathyagraha campaign against the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine Limited (SAITM), opposite the Fort Railway Station.

Accordingly, Dr. Hemantha de Silva, the Chairman of the Parents’ Union, Wasantha Sarojani, Deshan Simron, Deepthi Wijeratne, Buddhima Madushanka and Sameera Dilshan were ordered to appear in Courts on July 14.
