The ‘occupying area’ at the Galle Face Green in Colombo has been renamed as ‘Gota Go Gama’ by protesters.

The public protest against the President and his Government over the failed economy of Sri Lanka is continuing for the third consecutive day today.

The protest is being held at the Galle Face Green, opposite the Presidential secretariat.

Protesters have set up temporary tents and marquees, providing food, medicines, among other necessities, while public toilets have also been set up for the convenience of the protesting public.

The protesters have placed a placard made out of cardboard renaming the ‘occupying area’ at the Galle Face Green as ‘Gota Go Gama’.

The new name ‘Gota Go Gama’ originally in Sinhala translates to ‘Gota Go Village’ in English. (NewsWire)
