The Buddhist organisation Sinhala Ravaya has called off its campaign to ban the slaughter of cattle in Sri Lanka after President Mahinda Rajapaksa assured that necessary action will be taken to address the issues raised.
Three monks from the organisation started a fast-unto-death, which turned out not to last that long, after the presidential intervention.
Sinhala Ravaya chief monk Akmeemana Dayarathna told media that the organisation would resume its protests if the issue was not resolved within six months.
