Three Buddhist monks, including Ven. Balangoda Kassapa Thera, have commenced a fast unto death in protest against the Anuradhapura Sacred City Development Project.
The fast was launched during a Satyagraha protest organised by a group of Buddhist monks at the Dansala premises in front of the Ruwanwelisaya in Anuradhapura.
The monks had initially begun the Satyagraha campaign in opposition to the proposed development project, with three monks subsequently deciding to launch a fast unto death.
The protest is being held against the Anuradhapura Sacred City Development Project. (Newswire)
