Sri Lankan riot police were deployed to contain the protest and military intelligence officials were seen threatening the demonstrators to abandon the protest.

The protestors reportedly attempted to submit a petition to the Sri Lankan governor, Maj Gen (retd) GA Chandrasiri, however were not allowed to meet the governor to hand over the petition.
