A group of protesters who obstructed the entrance of the Presidential Secretariat has been taken into custody.
Police said they blocked the two remaining entrances of the Presidential Secretariat and behaved in an unruly manner.
Protesters at Galle Face Green had set up two more tents to obstruct the remaining entrances of the Secretariat earlier today.
Accordingly, protesters who obstructed the entrance to the Ministry of Finance down Lotus Road have been taken into custody by Security and Police personnel.
Meanwhile, Lotus Road in Colombo Fort which was closed earlier due to the protest has been reopened for vehicular movement.
Several groups of individuals who are representing various organisations have been staging protests at Galle Face Green for the past 72 days.
They have claimed that protests will continue until President Gotabaya Rajapaksa steps down from his post.
