Authorities have closed the Engineering Faculty of the Peradeniya University today(17)until further notice due to the problem arisen when giving examination candidacy to the Faculty students as they were not able to fullfill 80 percent attendance rate.
Due to this situation all the students at Engineering Faculty hostels have been asked to vacate their premises by 2 p.m today.
Meanwhile according to the University-s Student Unions the reason behind the not fullfilling of 80 percent Attendance rate is due to the closure of Universities as a result of two month old strike of non academic staff.
