Hundreds of people in Jaffna joined demonstrations against government inaction to tackle ground water contamination in Jaffna, on Tuesday.
The demonstrators marched from Nalloor to the office of the Northern Province Governor to hand over a petition and protest against the continued contamination of Jaffna ground water with no commitments to a solution.
The protestors called for weekly updates on actions taken by the Sri Lankan government to remedy the situation and hold those responsible for the contamination accountable.
