Media snubbed by Mayor

The media had been invited to cover a special general meeting of the Kandy Municipal Council to discuss the Gohagoda garbage dump issue. The invitation had been sent by registered post.

However, when media representatives turned up for the scheduled meeting at 5 p.m. on Friday, Mayor L.B.Aluvihare had requested a peon to inform the mediamen present that they were not necessary and that they had not been invited.
