Kalayani Dissanayake, a teacher of Sinhala at Royal College, Colombo staged a rooftop protest yesterday morning against the transfer of three teachers including herself. She climbed down in the evening. General Secretary of the Lanka Teachers’ Association Joseph Stalin told the media that the transfer was an act of revenge by the authorities as the three teachers had given evidence before the Public Service Commission, which was probing certain allegations against the Principal of the College.
