Bus heading to Colombo stoned in Jaffna

A bus heading to Colombo was damaged in Jaffna last night, after a group of unidentified people hurled stones at it.

The bus, belonging to the Sri Lankan Transport Board, had its front mirror damaged in the attack. None of the passengers on board at the time were hurt and were boarded on to another bus, which left for Colombo.

Chavakacheri police are reportedly investigating the incident. No arrests have taken place yet, reports Uthayan.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
